In this illuminating work, Ronald J. Mann offers readers a
comprehensive study of bankruptcy cases in the Supreme Court of the
United States. He provides detailed case studies based on the
Justices' private papers on the most closely divided cases,
statistical analysis of variation among the Justices in their votes
for and against effective bankruptcy relief, and new information
about the appearance in opinions of citations taken from party and
amici briefs. By focusing on cases that have neither a clear answer
under the statute nor important policy constraints, the book
unveils the decision-making process of the Justices themselves -
what they do when they are left to their own devices. It should be
read by anyone interested not only in the jurisprudence of
bankruptcy, but also in the inner workings of the Supreme Court.
