One of the more enduring topics of concern for empirically-oriented
scholars of law and courts-and political scientists more
generally-is how research can be more directly relevant to broader
audiences outside of academia. A significant part of this issue
goes back to a seeming disconnect between empirical and normative
scholars of law and courts that has increased in recent years.
Brandon L. Bartels and Chris W. Bonneau argue that being attuned to
the normative implications of one's work enhances the quality of
empirical work, not to mention makes it substantially more
interesting to both academics and non-academic practitioners. Their
book's mission is to examine how the normative implications of
empirical work in law and courts can be more visible and relevant
to audiences beyond academia. Written by scholars of political
science, law, and sociology, the chapters in the volume offer ideas
on a methodology for communicating normative implications in a
balanced, nuanced, and modest manner. The contributors argue that
if empirical work is strongly suggestive of certain policy or
institutional changes, scholars should make those implications
known so that information can be diffused. The volume consists of
four sections that respectively address the general enterprise of
developing normative implications of empirical research, law and
decisionmaking, judicial selection, and courts in the broader
political and societal context. This volume represents the start of
a conversation on the topic of how the normative implications of
empirical research in law and courts can be made more visible. This
book will primarily interest scholars of law and courts, as well as
students of judicial politics. Other subfields of political science
engaging in empirical research will also find the suggestions made
in the book relevant.
