Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal courts are the world’s most powerful judiciary and a vital element of the American political system. In recent decades, these courts have experienced unprecedented growth in caseload and personnel. Many judges and lawyers believe that a “crisis in quantity” is imperiling the ability of the federal judiciary to perform its historic function of administering justice fairly and expeditiously. In a substantially revised edition of his widely acclaimed 1985 book The Federal Courts: Crisis and Reform, Chief Judge Richard A. Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit provides a comprehensive evaluation of the federal judiciary and a detailed program of judicial reform. Drawing on economic and political theory as well as on legal analysis and his own extensive judicial experience, Posner sketches the history of the federal courts, describes the contemporary institution, appraises the concerns that have been expressed with the courts’ performance, and presents a variety of proposals for both short-term and fundamental reform. In contrast to some of the direr prophecies of observers of the federal courts, Posner emphasizes the success of these courts in adapting to steep caseload growth with minimum sacrifice in quality. Although the book ranges over a variety of traditional topics in federal jurisdiction, the focus is steady on federal judicial administration conceived of as an interdisciplinary approach emphasizing system rather than doctrine, statistics rather than impressions, and caseload rather than cases. Like the earlier edition, this book promises to be a landmark in the empirical study of judicial administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is facing a constitutional crisis that threatens the continuation of the Republic as founded and structured. The US Supreme Court is a primary agent in the rise, expansion, and promotion of this crisis. By the employ of one of the amendments, the Court continues its work of restructuring the governmental order established by the Constitution and of shifting the nation from its Christian foundation to one wholly secular. Such actions by the Court raise very serious questions: By what lawful authority does the Court engage in this work? What are the driving motives behind the Courts stratagem? What are some of the main consequences thus far produced? Address is given to these questions, as well as to the means of restoring constitutional order and limiting the powers of the Supreme Court to those specified.

Download or read book The Judicial Power of the Purse written by Nancy Staudt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress and the president are not the only branches that deal with fiscal issues in times of war. In this innovative book, Nancy Staudt focuses on the role of federal courts in fiscal matters during warfare and high-cost national defense emergencies. There is, she argues, a judicial power of the purse that becomes evident upon examining the budgetary effects of judicial decision making. The book provides substantial evidence that judges are willing—maybe even eager—to redirect private monies into government hands when the country is in peril, but when the judges receive convincing cues that ongoing wartime activities undermine the nation’s interests, they are more likely to withhold funds from the government by deciding cases in favor of private individuals and entities who show up in court. In stark contrast with conventional legal, political, and institutional thought that privileges factors associated with individual preferences, The Judicial Power of the Purse sheds light on environmental factors in judicial decision making and will be an excellent read for students of judicial behavior in political science and law.

Book excerpt: This volume discerns and defines a positive institutional role for the federal courts, which have developed a vast body of institutional doctrine in their more than two centuries of existence. It is remarkable how much of that doctrine expresses only a highly negative institutional role for these courts and how little of it gives much sense of the federal courts' mission. The federal courts' lack of a positive sense of self has caused their doctrine to become highly fragmented, arcane, and often contradictory. The federal courts need more ideas about what they are, and they need to decrease their emphasis on what they are not. This book focuses on how the courts relate to Congress and the President, and how they relate to the states. This is a particularly important time to look at the federal courts' institutional functioning, because in recent years the Supreme Court has undertaken a wide-ranging redefinition, couched in constitutional terms, of American federalism. Doernberg offers a perspective from which to view those changes.
Download or read book Rationalizing Justice written by Wolf Heydebrand and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1990-09-11 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book connects the history and organization of the federal district courts to the emergence of a new technocratic form of justice. The centerpiece of this study is the clash between adjudication — the traditional model of dispute resolution — and the introduction of modern management techniques. From the perspective of the federal trial courts, the authors examine the tension between adjudication and administration. They show dramatic changes in the nature of judicial decision-making and the emergence of new forms of court organization. These changes signal a potential crisis of the judicial system, and Heydebrand and Seron provide insights into its nature and direction, and the immense structural forces underlying the administration of justice in America.
