With the media spotlight on the recent developments concerning the
Supreme Court, more and more people have become increasingly
interested in the highest court in the land. Who are the justices
that run it and how do they make their decisions?
The Psychology of the Supreme Court by Lawrence S. Wrightsman is
the first book to thoroughly examine the psychology of Supreme
Court decision-making. Dr. Wrightsman's book seeks to help us
understand all aspects of the Supreme Court's functioning from a
psychological perspective. This timely and comprehensive work
addresses many factors of influence including, the background of
the justices, how they are nominated and appointed, the role of
their law clerks, the power of the Chief Justice, and the
day-to-day life in the Court. Dr. Wrightsman uses psychological
concepts and research findings from the social sciences to examine
the steps of the decision-making process, as well as the ways in
which the justices seek to remain collegial in the face of conflict
and the degree of predictability in their votes.
Psychologists and scholars, as well as those of us seeking to
unravel the mystery of The Supreme Court of the United States will
find this book to be an eye-opening read.
