How does the American judiciary impact the development of legal and
social policies in the United States? How are the state and federal
court systems constructed? This book answers these questions and
many others regarding politics, the U.S. courts, and society. This
single-volume work provides a comprehensive and contemporary
treatment of the historical development of state and federal courts
that clearly documents how they have evolved into significant
political institutions. It addresses vital and highly relevant
subjects such as the constitutional origins of courts, the nature
of judicial selection and service, and the organization of courts
and their administration. The book explains civil and criminal
legal proceedings, the political impact of judicial rulings, and
the restraints placed upon the exercise of judicial powers. Readers
will come away with an understanding of the key principles of
constitutional interpretation and judicial review as well as
judicial independence, what factors affect access to courts, the
underlying politics of state judicial campaigns, and the
confirmation of presidential appointments to the federal bench. The
book covers historical and contemporary court perspectives on major
issues, such as same-sex marriage, the Affordable Care Act,
campaign financing, gun rights, free speech and religious freedom,
racial discrimination, affirmative action, criminal procedure and
punishments, property rights, and voting rights.
