Do The "Haves" Come Out Ahead? Winning and Losing in State Supreme Courts, 1870-1970
This paper tests the hypothesis that financially and organizationally stronger parties tend to prevail in litigation against weaker parties, either because the normative structure of the American legal system has favored "the haves," or because judges' attitudes do, or because stronger parties have strategic and representational advantages in litigation. The study is based on a sample of 5,904 cases from sixteen state supreme courts, 1870-1970. A…

Mobilizing Friends and Foes in Administrative Proceedings
A common justification for the use of trial‐type procedures in administrative agency decisionmaking is the assertion that such procedures will help legitimize decisions or increase their acceptability. Writers who take this position often assume that members of affected interest groups have fixed attitudes toward decisionmaking procedures, that such attitudes are highly salient, and that perceptions of procedural acceptability will not be greatly…
State Supreme Courts: A Century of Style and Citation
Appellate court opinions, carefully indexed and preserved in law libraries, are a tremendous resource for historians and social scientists. In the theory of the common law, these opinions are the law; they stand in the center of the legal system. Their power is enhanced by the common law doctrine that links them in a chain of influence and causation–the doctrine of precedent. Their precedential value means that they are also powerful resources fo…
The Business of State Supreme Courts, 1870-1970
The highest courts of the 50 states are by any measure important legal institutions. The state supreme courts (SSCs) handle an enormous volume of significant cases every year, cases that have made the journey up the steep ladder of appeal. Although often overshadowed in the public eye by the federal courts, SSCs decide many fundamental issues of individual rights and governmental powers. They are the courts of last resort on most issues of commer…

Conclusion: Disputes and Reported Cases
the judicial opinion is a human document and a fascinating record, there, for anybody's use. From the standpoint of behavioral study these are data in which so many factors are held equal as to outrun the results of an ordinary ten-or even hundred-thousand-dollar grant. All there. All waiting. Already gathered. Merely neglected," (K. Llewellyn, 1960:514).Reported opinions are a rich source of dispute data. Ideally they answer a wide variety of qu…

The Invocation of Legal Norms: An Empirical Investigation of Durkheim and Weber
This paper examines the ways in which legal norms enunciated by India's industrial tribunals are used by management and labor in their bilateral negotiations. Data from Indian courts and companies permit an empirical contrast between Durkheim's and Weber's analyses of the legal process. The evidence substantiates portions of both approaches: legal norms tend to be invoked as a function both of need for normative regulation and of the authority of…
