To what extent do courts make social and public policy and
influence policy change? This innovative text analyzes this
question generally and in seven distinct policy areas that play out
in both federal and state courts-tax policy, environmental policy,
reproductive rights, sex equality, affirmative action, school
finance, and same-sex marriage. The authors address these issues
through the twin lenses of how state and federal courts must and do
interact with the other branches of government and whether judicial
policy-making is a form of activist judging. Each chapter uncovers
the policymaking aspects of judicial process by investigating the
current state of the law, the extent of court involvement in policy
change, the responses of other governmental entities and outside
actors, and the factors which influenced the degree of
implementation and impact of the relevant court decisions.
Throughout the book, Howard and Steigerwalt examine and analyze the
literature on judicial policy-making as well as evaluate existing
measures of judicial ideology, judicial activism, court and legal
policy formation, policy change and policy impact. This unique text
offers new insights and areas to research in this important field
of American politics.
