Are Social Background Models Time-Bound
In this research note I seek to determine whether a significantly predicting social background model for analyzing the votes of Supreme Court justices is time-bound. I argue that an affirmative result poses serious questions for past uses of such models, none of which has controlled for the possibility that time is a confounding variable. A model that significantly predicted the votes of the justices in the Court's 1903-1968 terms was constructed…
Governmental Litigants, Underdogs, and Civil Liberties in the Supreme Court
From an assortment of partial theories found in the literature, it was hypothesized that governmental litigants were more likely than nongovernmental litigants to be favored in cases decided by the United States Supreme Court. This proposition was tested for state and federal governments in civil liberty cases involving "underdogs" in the Court's 1903-1968 terms. The hypothesis was not supported for state and federal governments separately or for…
The Supreme Court's Certiorari Decisions
In the period from 1947 to 1976, the United States Supreme Court has denied certiorari in more than half the cases involving conflict with Supreme Court precedent or intercircuit conflict. In both instances, the denial rate has been higher in the Burger Court than in the Vinson and Warren Courts and denial has been greater for intercircuit conflict cases than for cases in which the ruling in the lower court was in conflict with one or more Suprem…
Supreme Court Appointments as a Poisson Distribution
When Jimmy Carter stepped down as president on January 20, 1981, he carried with him at least one unique distinction: he is the only president serving four or more years who failed to make a single appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. Since four-year presidents have appointed as many as five justices in a term and have averaged approximately two such appointments,' the Carter experience may be seen by some as anomalous. This is particularly tru…
Supreme Court Opinions
The true significance of policy articulations by appellate courts lies in the behavioral responses of relevant parties below. Actions consistent with the intent of appellate sources is dependant on effective communication between message source and message recipient. Limiting focus to the U.S. Supreme Court as an appellate source, two measures of effective communications are developed. These measures incorporate two dimensions of comprehension di…

Researching the Supreme Court in a Democratic Pluralist System
The political processes which invite research and the investment of associated resources are those identified as signiscant by the political theories to which we give credence. Though Democratic Pluralism is the most popular explanation of the political system in the United States, its ability to explain Supreme Court behavior cannot be evaluated, for observation of the processes by which Court agendas for national policy making purposes are cons…

Supreme Court Justices as Strict and Not-so-Strict Constructionists
In making his televised announcement on the nominations of Lewis Powell and William Rehnquist for seats on the Supreme Court, Richard Nixon observed that he was merely fulfilling a campaign promise. For, he said: "... during my campaign for the Presidency, I pledged to nominate to the Supreme Court individuals who shared my judicial philosophy which is basically a conservative philosophy. ... As a judicial conservative, I believe some Court decis…

The Decision to Grant or Deny Certiorari
Political scientists now agree that the Supreme Court is a major institutional policy maker in the American political system. But they have done little to relate that conclusion to democratic theory. Nor have they bothered to draw the implications for structural reform of the Court that seem to flow from such a relationship. Specifically, we have been less concerned with holding Supreme Court justices accountable to those they govern than seeing …

Scientific Method and the Judicial Process
Supreme Court Behavior in Racial Exclusion Cases
The United States Supreme Court is often guided by rules of law which make the disposition of cases depend upon singular combinations of circumstances. It is a relatively simple procedure to go through the cases in a subject matter area and compile a list of the facts the justices seem to have considered material to their solution of the issue at hand. But the identification of the peculiar combinations of events which push the decisions in one d…

Scaling Judicial Cases
Another step forward in the burgeoning legal science of court decisions is represented in this article by Dr. Ulmer of Michigan State University's Department of Political Science. Using coefficients of reproducibility and scalability, he shows how highly consistent is the position of individual Supreme Court justices concerning deprivations of civil liberties. While this note deals specifically with the application of scaling techniques to judici…
