Despite having the final word on many policy issues, state supreme courts have received much less scholarly attention than the United States Supreme Court. Examining these often neglected institutions, this book demonstrates that by increasing our knowledge of the behavior of state supreme court judges across differing areas of law, we can enrich our understanding of the function of state supreme courts, and the relations between these institutions and other branches of government. In addition, Judicial Review in State Supreme Courts advances our conceptualization of the judiciary and offers a more general theory about judicial behavior, accountability, and the role of courts in American society. Langer looks at the policy-making powers of state supreme courts, and the conditions under which justices are most likely to review and invalidate state laws, portraying judges as forward thinking individuals who pursue both policy and electoral goals.

"It is the purpose of this survey to assist appellate courts in their review of the appeals process. Through an examination of the various state systems, we hope to come to a better understanding of the significance and causes of court congestion and delay, as well as the efficacy of the approaches and solutions that states have taken that will most appropriately meet their local needs and circumstances"--Page 3.

This edition promises to redefine the canon of the study of appellate courts, continuing the comprehensiveness and increasing the depth of the First Edition. This edition of Appellate Courts provides teachers with choices that are suitable for a two- or three-unit course or a seminar. The book permits emphasis on either appellate jurisdiction and practice or on the structural and policy aspects of appellate court organization and administration. All the chapters have been revamped and updated, with coverage of appellate jurisdiction substantially expanded. Using both classic and new cases, the book examines theoretical and practical issues arising from the appellate courts' dual roles to correct trial court error and to generate common law. Its coverage of the dramatic rise in the volume of appeals and the resultant institutional reforms far surpasses that of any other law school course book. Fresh materials present new perspectives on appellate structures, personnel, and procedures--preparing students to practice in the contemporary state and federal appellate courts. This provocative book considers such issues as the delegation of responsibility to law clerks and staff attorneys, the threats to judicial collegiality, the selection of state and federal judges--including the regulation of judicial candidates' speech, and the role and ethics of the appellate lawyer. It devotes a separate chapter to the U.S. Supreme Court's discretionary jurisdiction while another chapter draws upon Professor Meador's unique understanding of the English and German appellate systems to contrast those systems with our own. In short, this book is unique in not only exploring appellate jurisdiction and procedure but also in taking the measure of the appellate courts in all their dimensions as important institutions in the American legal order. The Teacher's Manual also has been updated and greatly expanded to assist both experienced and less-experienced teachers. It includes discussion of the principal cases and secondary materials as well as expert suggestions concerning answers to questions posed in the Notes. It also provides a wealth of supplemental material to bolster any professor's expertise and make it easy for an instructor new to the subject to teach from the book effectively and confidently.

Conceptual blending, say Fauconnier (cognitive science, U. of California-San Diego) and Turner (behavioral sciences, U. of Maryland), is a great mental capacity that in its most advanced, double-scope form, gave human ancestors superiority and allowed them to develop art, science, religion, culture, sophisticated tools, and language. They investigate its principles, dynamics, and role in human life. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
