| Description: |
Recent abortion and death penalty decisions by the Supreme Court provide prime examples of abrupt legal change. With a comprehensive account of key abortion and death penalty cases, Epstein and Kobylka reach a surprising conclusion: the way litigants frame legal arguments is as important as political pressures or the moral climate in bringing about changes. 33 tables. |
| Synopsis: |
The authors analyze abortion and death penalty decisions by the Supreme Court and argue that they provide prime examples of abrupt legal change. After proposing that the strength of legal arguments has at least as much impact on Court decisions as do public opinion and justices' political beliefs, they focus on the way litigators propel certain issues onto the Court's agenda and seek to persuade the justices to affect legal change. |
