Leaders, Followers, and Outsiders: Task and Social Leadership on the Canadian Supreme Court in the Early 'Nineties
The examination of judicial leadership roles in American courts has been a project of study for decades, yet it has received little attention in comparative settings. Using the theoretical constructs of task and social leadership, we explore the patterns of leadership and influence found on the Supreme Court of Canada during the tenure of Chief Justice Antonio Lamer (1991-97). The findings demonstrate considerable evidence of task leadership by t…
Acclimation Effects on the Supreme Court of Canada: A Cross‐Cultural Examination of Judicial Folklore
Objective. Few public law theories developed to understand the decision making of U.S. courts have been examined in different cultural settings. This study examines the applicability of the “freshman effects” theory in the context of the Canadian Supreme Court. Methods. The article uses analysis of variance tests to examine changes in the voting and authorship patterns of 15 Canadian Supreme Court Justices during the Laskin, Dickson, and Lamer Co…
Attitudinal Dimensions of Supreme Court Decision Making in Canada: The Lamer Court, 1991-1995
This article assesses whether the same attitudinal dimension that dominates judicial decision-making in the United States-liberalism/conservatism-is also prominent in the Canadian context. Specifically, the study examines the voting behavior of Canadian Supreme Court Justices in non-unanimous post-Charter cases decided during the first five terms of the Lamer Court (1991-95). After employing factor analysis, which disclosed three principal dimens…
Attitudes, Precedents and Cultural Change: Explaining the Citation of Foreign Precedents by the Supreme Court of Canada
Policy convergence theory suggests that political leaders of societies will often emulate policy solutions that work in other settings. Yet political leaders can also reject policy alternatives, leading to policy divergence. This study explores the extent to which policy convergence (and/or divergence) takes place in the legal setting of citation practices by the Supreme Court of Canada. The authors examine the Court's practice of citing authorit…
Federal District Judges and Presidential Power During the Postwar Era
Analysis of nearly two hundred federal district court decisions in cases involving the exercise of presidential power during the postwar era reveals two very different models of judicial decision making. In cases concerning presidential control of foreign and military policy, judicial decision making appears to be dominated by the recognition of fixed rules. So clear are these rules of deference to the executive that identification of the policy-…
Dimensions Underlying Economic Policymaking in the Early and Later Burger Courts
This article examines the voting behavior of the justices in nonunanimous economic cases decided during three terms of the early and three terms of the later Burger Court. After employing factor analysis, which disclosed three principal dimensions underlying the justices' voting behavior in the first court and two in the second, we carefully examined cases scoring most positively and those scoring most negatively on each of the factors and analyz…

The Outsider on the Court
Drawing upon some seminal works on the U.S. Senate, which described a type of nonconformist known as an "Outsider" or maverick, this study operationally defines component dimensions of such a role and identifies several justices on state supreme courts as fitting that role. A number of background variables--such as political party affiliation, prior academic, political, or judicial experience, age, and initial means of accession to the bench--did…
