The Politics of Precedent on the U.S. Supreme Court
Thomas G. Hansford
Offering an analysis of the Supreme Court's most important task - shaping the law, this book analyzes the Court's interpretation or treatment of the precedents it has set in the past. It shows that while precedent can operate as a constraint on the justices' decisions, it also represents an opportunity to foster preferred societal outcomes.
