Judging on a Collegial Court : Influences on Federal Appellate Decision Making, Paperback / softback Book

Judging on a Collegial Court : Influences on Federal Appellate Decision Making Paperback / softback

Part of the Constitutionalism and Democracy series

Paperback / softback

Description

Dissensus is often viewed in the professional world as a starting point for collaboration; rather than leaving decisions to just one person, dissent offers the opportunity to rethink or reinvent an idea, leading, one hopes, to a better result.

When dissensus occurs in a federal court, however, it raises the question of whether this difference of opinion maintains the integrity of the judiciary or undermines its legitimacy.

In ""Judging on a Collegial Court: Influences on Federal Appellate Decision Making"", Virginia Hettinger, Stefanie Lindquist, and Wendy Martinek examine the dynamic that gives rise to such dissensus in federal appeals courts, revealing how the appellate process shapes the content and the consistency of the law.
