Book excerpt: Recent work on the federal nominations process finds a systematic relationship between nominee characteristics and their ratings from the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary (SCFJ). While these findings are substantively interesting, the mechanism behind them is not clear. The first chapter demonstrates that the individual investigator is the most important factor in determining a nominee's final ABA rating. It also shows that the committee composition can affect individual behavior in specific contexts. The data support the finding of pure partisan bias best, but they cannot rule out possible homophilic bias. I combine new data on all SCFJ members from 1958 to 2013 with all nominations to the courts of appeals over the same period to give a more complete picture of ABA ratings. The second chapter creates a valid and reliable new measure for the qualifications of nominees to courts of appeals. Though widely-used in studies of judicial politics, ABA ratings have a well-established bias: Controlling for a number of objective indicators of nominee quality, partisanship remains a significant predictor of a nominee's final rating. I empirically test the new measure in two examples against ABA ratings to demonstrate both its potential and its possible drawbacks. The American Bar Association's involvement in the judicial selection process grows out of a unique relationship between its SCFJ, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC). The SCFJ's central function is to solve a collective dilemma, the production of information, for its two principals. Supported by a qualitative assessment of the secondary literature on the SCFJ, archival sources, and congressional hearing transcripts, the third chapter argues that the private nature of the SCFJ complicates the relationship between the governmental principals and their SCFJ agent, such as the inability of the Senate to use its most powerful monitoring tool: binding legislation. I conclude with a discussion of the SCFJ's role in light of the classical views on interest group pluralism.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The paper explores the factors behind the American Bar Association's (ABA) ratings of federal judicial nominees, with special attention to the role of political ideology. The ABA, through its Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, has traditionally been included in the pre-selection process of evaluating individuals for nomination to federal judgeships. Recently, the George W. Bush administration removed the ABA from its traditional role in the pre-selection process, citing concerns of a bias against conservative nominees in the ratings process. A recent piece by Vining et al. titled, "Bias and the Bar: Evaluating the ABA Ratings of Federal Judicial Nominees," empirically examines the possibility of a bias in ABA ratings. While this piece represents an admirable foray into an area of scholarship left largely untouched in recent decades, a number of oversights in key areas limit its overall effectiveness. Thus, this project replicates the aims of the Vining piece utilizing more valid metrics. The paper considers all federal judicial appointees from the first term of President Reagan through the second term of President Clinton. Measures of association are used to evaluate the relationship between a number of variables and ABA ratings. The results of the analysis suggest that, contrary to the conclusions in Vining et al., the primary factors in ABA ratings success are not political but professional and demographic. Furthermore, a qualitative analysis of selection in the modern reveals distinct approaches on the part of Republican and Democratic presidents that can explain the appearance of any bias.
