Relying on a database of Canadian Supreme Court rulings between 1984 and 2003, this book presents a discussion of the attitudinal model of decision making. Suitable for a wide range of legal scholars and court watchers, it tests the assumption that conflict in the courts is due in large part to ideological divisions among the members. |
