Purpose and Pedagogy
This conceptual model emerged from the need to balance multiple purposes and perspectives associated with developing an ePortfolio designed to promote student development and success. A comprehensive review of literature from various disciplines, theoretical frameworks, and scholarship, including self-authorship, reflection, ePortfolio pedagogy, and the psychology of hope and goal setting, set the groundwork for the model. The Indiana University-…

Law, Politics, and Judicial Decision Making
Lower federal courts are crucial to the interpretation and implementation of Supreme Court decisions. Research demonstrates considerable variation in their responses to these decisions. Explanations of these responses are not well developed, and few efforts test competing hypotheses. My research tests the hypotheses derived from two models of lower court behavior-a legal model and a political model. The analysis demonstrates that the legal model …
Follow-Up Citations in the U.S. Supreme Court
T) HE QUESTION addressed in this article is straightforward Why does the Supreme Court cite and follow some of its previous while ignoring or distinguishing others? This question is important for the emerging literature on citation behavior among courts which views the citation of past cases as important indicators of communication (Caldeira 1985; Harris 1979), legitimacy (Friedman et al. 1981), status of the law (Landes and Posner 1977; Merryman…

Citations to Authority in Supreme Court Opinions
This article analyzes citations used by the U.S. Supreme Court in its majority opinions. The research explores variations in citations and evaluates various explanations for these variations, including the potential impact of individual judicial style, legal factors, and group interaction in the formation of opinions. The article suggests that systematic analysis of citations holds potential for contributing to our understanding of the judicial p…

Implementing a Permissive Policy
3 hypotheses--community preferences incentives and disincentives and organizational norms--that past research identifies as possible explanations of variation in hospital abortion policies following the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 are tested. Court with this decision established a national policy recognizing the right of a woman to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. A brief overview of judicial abortion policy and hospital responses …

Do Lower Courts Anticipate Changes in Supreme Court Policies
This paper takes advantage of the change from the Warren Supreme Court to the Burger Supreme Court to investigate a phenomenon not usually examined in judicial impact research—anticipatory reactions. The research question is whether and under what circumstances federal courts of appeals anticipate changes in policy by the Supreme Court. Changes in the citation of Warren Court civil liberties decisions from the Warren Court era to the early Burger…
Coercive and Noncoercive Abortion Deterrence Policies
The Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade (1973) limited the authority of states to prohibit abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy. Although they can no longer prohibit abortions, state legislatures have adopted a variety of coercive and noncoercive policies that might operate to alter the utilities associated with having or providing abortions. This article analyzes the relative impacts of these policies on two measures of abo…
Judicial Decisions and Organizational Change
This theoretical note presents a theory explaining the reactions of organizations to court orders that require the organizations to change some policy, program, or pro cedure. The theory is based on theories of "rational choice" and conceives of the change process in terms of four stages: (1) interpretation of the court decision, (2) evaluation of the decision, (3) searches for information and alternatives to the court decision, and (4) selection…
Judicial Decisions and Organization Change
This article reports on research evaluating the impact of five Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions on five Pennsylvania state agencies. Rational choice theory is used to explain several different responses to the judicial decisions: (1) initiating a search for more information, (2) conducting an extensive search, and (3) complying with the court decision and degree of compliance. The analysis demonstrates that the decision to initiate a search d…
Lower Court Reactions to Supreme Court Decisions
This article tests the widely assumed proposition that the greater the original support for a decision at the Supreme Court level, the greater the subsequent compliance with that decision by the lower courts. Five indicators of support were used in the analysis-size of the voting majority, size of the opinion majority, number of dissenting justices, number of dissenting opinions, and author of the majority opinion. Indexes of compliance, evasion,…

Camp Meeting Hymnody
THE remarkable growth of Methodism has been attributed as much to its congregational singing as to its preaching, theology, and flexible church polity. On the American frontier, where people were more apt to sing than read, the followers of John Wesley not only lived the Gospel, they sang it.2 Charles Wesley's and Isaac Watts's hymns of inspiration recreated the evangelical experience; they gave the Methodist movement life and warmth and heart.
