Few institutions in the world are credited with initiating and
confounding political change on the scale of the United States
Supreme Court. The Court is uniquely positioned to enhance or
inhibit political reform, enshrine or dismantle social
inequalities, and expand or suppress individual rights. Yet despite
claims of victory from judicial activists and complaints of
undemocratic lawmaking from the Court's critics, numerous studies
of the Court assert that it wields little real power. This book
examines the nature of Supreme Court power by identifying
conditions under which the Court is successful at altering the
behavior of state and private actors. Employing a series of
longitudinal studies that use quantitative measures of behavior
outcomes across a wide range of issue areas, it develops and
supports a new theory of Supreme Court power.
