Still Underrepresented? Gender Representation of Witnesses at House and Senate Committee Hearings
We know very little about the women who testify before congressional committees. Here we present data on the women who appeared as witnesses out of the 36,950 persons who gave testimony before 7,750 subcommittees and committees. We consider the roles of political party, party control, gender of chiefs of staff, location of hearings, and chamber rules among other factors to explain the underrepresentation of women witnesses. We find that women are…
Burnout in mental health professionals
This study aimed to estimate the level of burnout in mental health professionals and to identify specific determinants of burnout in this population. A systematic search of MEDLINE/PubMed, PsychINFO/Ovid, Embase, CINAHL/EBSCO and Web of Science was conducted for original research published between 1997 and 2017. Sixty-two studies were identified as meeting the study criteria for the systematic review. Data on the means, standard deviations, and p…
To Comply or Not to Comply
This article examines the extent to which colleges and universities comply with the proportional opportunity test prescribed during the implementation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Using data from the US Department of Education, we consider proportionality in terms of both roster spots and finances for male and female athletes at Division I colleges and universities. We find that the proportionality gap is particularly large fo…
Exploring elites’ first political memories
Political elites provide a unique perspective on political socialization. By examining these individuals’ experiences and viewpoints, scholars have an opportunity to evaluate methods to increase political engagement among the mass public. This paper undertakes such an exploration using a 2013 mail survey of Electoral College members, specifically considering responses to an open-ended question about electors’ first political memories, accounting …
Judging Alone
The word I would use to describe my position on the bench is lonely.” So said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2007, when asked to comment on her position on the U.S. Supreme Court after the resignation of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. After a year as the Court's only woman, Ginsburg had begun to feel the solitude that comes from judging alone, being the Court's only descriptive and often symbolic representative of women's interests. Ginsburg's posi…

Where Have All of the Pro‐Choice Lawyers Gone? An Analysis of Post‐Roe Reproductive Rights Lawyering
A body of scholarship attests to the importance of experienced litigators before the U.S. Supreme Court. In this article, we specifically consider the role of experienced litigators in the thirty years of reproductive rights litigation that followed Roe v Wade. To that end, we divide the lawyers by their pro‐choice or pro‐life affiliations and ask (1) how often individual lawyers appear before the Court in reproductive rights cases, (2) who the l…

Breaking the Abortion Deadlock? Twenty-Five Years After Roe v. Wade
A quarter-century has passed since the U.S. Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973. In recognition of the intense debates that continue to surround the question of abortion rights, the editors present the following forum, based on Eileen McDonagh's recent book, Breaking the Abortion Deadlock, published by Oxford University Press. The discussion was first presented at the 1997 Meetings of the American Political Science Association in Washington…

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and the Supreme Court's Reaction to Its First Female Member
On July 7, 1981, President Ronald Reagan fulfilled one of his campaign promises: He appointed Judge Sandra Day O'Connor of the Arizona Court of Appeals to be the first female Justice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Mostearly commentators agreed that Judge O'Connor fit the conservative mold of other Reagan appointees. Nevertheless, women's groups universally hailed her appointment as a major breakthrough for women in general and for the advanc…

Creationism, Evolution and the Courts
The separation of religion and state is a fundamental principle of American constitutional democracy, but agreement over the proper relationship between God and Caesar is a far from settled matter. The concern of the framers of the Constitution for religious freedom is reflected in the First Amendment, which prohibits Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion or restricting the free exercise of religious beliefs. The lang…
Toward a Theoretical Model of Countermovements and Constitutional Change
Using a modified resource mobilization perspective this article introduces hypotheses concerning the motivation for the development of countermovements. The anti-ERA Movement is used as a case study to explore the theoretical model of countermovements and constitutional change that is proposed
Toward a theoretical model of countermovements and constitutional change
Friends as Foes
Scholars have long recognized that interest groups realize the importance of the courts as policymakers and as vehicles of social and political change. We examined the amicus curiae participation of the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans for Effective Law Enforcement in criminal cases before the Burger Court from 1969–1982. We found that AELE, a conservative law‐enforcement organization, has been the most successful interest group as pa…

The Rise of Conservative Interest Group Litigation
Research on interest group litigation long has focused almost exclusively on liberal groups. This examination undertakes an analysis of conservative group use of the courts during the Burger Court era. Contrary to widespread expectation, conservative groups litigate in a strategic fashion but do so through the more limited form of participation--the amicus curiae brief--which they view as an effective lobbying device. In fact, conservative groups…
Amicus Curiae Participation in U.S. Supreme Court Litigation
In 1969 Nathan Hakman published a report of his investigation of the role of interest groups in Supreme Court litigation. He found that interest groups filed amicus curiae briefs in only 18.6 percent of the 1,175 “noncommercial” cases decided by the Supreme Court between 1928 and 1966. Participation as amicus curiae illustrates only one aspect of litigation activity, and at that one of the most limited, but Hakman took this as a reliable indicato…
An analysis of the U.S. women's rights movements
This paper divides the move for women's rights in the U.S. into three historical phases: (I) the early women's rights movement (1848-1875); (2) the suffrage movement (1890-1920); and, (3) the two branches of contempor- ary women's movements. A survey of the social movement literature is pre- sented. The authors then set out a hypothesis for the formation of the above women's rights movements. The causes of the three respective phases then are exa…
