State Attorneys General: Agents of Partisan Polarization
Under the United States federalist system of government, each of the fifty states (plus the District of Columbia) has its own state attorney general (AG). As the chief legal officer of the state, the state AG is not only the top law enforcement official in the state but is also in control of all litigation entered into by the state government. The vast majority of the state AGs are independently elected state officials who can bring lawsuits in t…

King's Dream
Includes the entire text of "I Have A Dream" I have a dream” no words are more widely recognized, or more often repeated, than those called out from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial by Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1963. King’s speech, elegantly structured and commanding in tone, has become shorthand not only for his own life but for the entire civil rights movement. In this new exploration of the I have a dream” speech, Eric J. Sundquist places i…
Legal Discrimination in the United States based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
When the U.S. Supreme Court declared that same-sex marriage would be legal throughout the country, that decision did not end the possibility of other types of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The U.S. Supreme Court has been very unclear about what standard to use when the courts face claims of discrimination based on these characteristics. In cases decided under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clau…
Law Clerks and Their Influence at the US Supreme Court: Comments on Recent Works by Peppers and Ward
There has been a fair amount of recent scholarly attention to the role and influence of law clerks at the Supreme Court of the United States. This new wave of systematic research began when Todd C. Peppers (2006) published Courtiers of the Marble Palace: The Rise and Influence of the Supreme Court Law Clerk at almost exactly the same time as Artemus Ward and David L. Weiden's (2006) Sorcerers' Apprentices: 100 Years of Law Clerks at the United St…

The View of the Courts from the Hill: Governance as Dialogue
Scholars who study American political institutions have tended to specialize in a single body such as the U.S. Congress or the federal courts. However, a growing movement among judicial scholars argues that the courts cannot be understood in isolation, but instead must be understood as a part of the larger system of government. As Neustadt (1980, 26) has reminded us, in reality the U.S. system of government features “separated institutions sharin…

Courts, Agencies, and Congressional Committees: A Neo-Institutional Perspective
Based on over 75 personal interviews with members of Congress and their staffs, this article examines how three House authorization committees differ in their reactions to federal court decisions versus their reactions to federal agency decisions. In general, Congress holds the courts in higher esteem than it does the agencies. The courts are generally seen as less political than the agencies, and committee reactions to court decisions are seen a…
Lawyers in Congress: What Difference Does It Make
Roger Davidson and Nelson Polsby have both argued that social scientists have missed some of the very important effects that legislators' legal training has on the legislative process. Although lawyer members dominate the U.S. Congress, there has been little study about how their legal training affects Congress as an institution. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, this study finds that lawyers have more positive attitudes toward the courts, are…
