This groundbreaking book analyzes the decisions made by the United
States circuit courts over the past half century. These courts have
a profound impact on the law - they issue many more decisions in
many more areas of law than the Supreme Court. Cross demonstrates
that while the courts' judges are influenced by ideology and by the
appointing president, legal requirements exercise a much stronger
influence on their decisions. He also shows that these courts are
independent of the other branches of government and free from undue
influence of various parties. The book further introduces new
research on the precedent-setting power of decisions.
