It is social scientific in its approach, situating the role of the courts and their impact on public policy within a strong foundation in legal theory as well as legal scholarship. Authors Christopher P. Banks and David M. O'Brien do not shy away from the politics of the judicial process and offer unique insight into cutting-edge and highly relevant issues, including the law and morality of same-sex marriages, the "hardball politics" of judicial selection, the right to counsel and "pay-as-you-go" justice, and the judicial role in creating major social change. Photos, cartoons, charts, and graphs are used throughout the text to facilitate student learning and highlight key aspects of the judicial process"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Judicial process $z United States. 650 0 $a Law $x Interpretation and construction. 650 0 $a Courts $z United States. 700 1 $a O'Brien, David M., $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806074528.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D37CCB026B5711E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
