<i>Why do U.S. Supreme Court justices direct caustic rhetoric against each other in their opinions? In this article, I test two alternative theories for the use of this rhetoric. The coalition maintenance hypothesis maintains that the rhetoric is a shaming mechanism directed against close colleagues to impose costs on dissensus, while the polarization hypothesis suggests that it is a consequence of the rise of affective polarization on the Court. Using an augmented version of the Supreme Court Database, supplemented with Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) data, as well as other original data, I find evidence for both models, with the coalition maintenance hypothesis more prevalent in recent terms. While there is evidence that the justices deploy caustic rhetoric against their ideological opponents, on the Roberts Court the justices have tended to use this rhetoric strategically to shame close colleagues who are voting against coalitional preferences.</i></div>

an original research monograph that provides a comprehensive examination of the
causes and consequences of recusal behavior on the U.S. Supreme Court.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I explore the conditions under which recusals
occur, as well as the impact of recusals on case outcomes, the scope of majority
opinions, the likelihood of certiorari grants, and public attitudes about the
Court.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I trace the evolution of media
commentary about recusals, showing how popular discourse about recusals has
become politicized and is inflaming demands for reform.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also provide readers with a rich historical
overview of the Court’s recusal practices and describe and evaluate proposals
for reforming the process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My key
finding is that the justices do not strictly follow the recusal guidelines set
by Congress, but neither do they ignore these guidelines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, the justices are strategic in their
compliance with ethical rules, balancing Congressional guidelines against other
institutional and policy goals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to recuse themselves from cases?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This article
proposes a strategic model of recusal behavior, hypothesizing that the justices
balance statutory guidelines concerning recusals against other policy and
institutional goals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Using data from the
Supreme Court Database, I find evidence that recusal behavior is influenced by
a combination of statutory, policy, and institutional considerations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consistent with statutory explanations, which
emphasize the elimination of bias or its appearance, justices are more likely
to recuse themselves from cases when business interests are before the Court, they
have served for shorter terms, and they have previously acted as Solicitor
General.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I also find that the justices
are less likely to recuse themselves when cases are likely to be close or when the
justices’ policy goals are likely to be advanced by participating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These findings suggest that while the
justices do follow statutory recusal guidelines, they also have other institutional
and policy incentives that lead them to participate in cases despite their conflicts
of interest</i></span><i>.</i>Robert J.

Hume examines how the democratization of state courts and state constitutional systems has influenced the capacity of judges to protect minority rights. Through an intensive examination of same-sex marriage policy, Hume shows that democratic innovations like judicial elections and initiative amendment procedures have conditioned the impact of judges on state marriage laws. Using a combination of original and publicly available data, Hume demonstrates that "courthouse democracy" has influenced the behavior of state judges, the reactions of the public to state court decisions, and the long-term policy consequences of these decisions, including the passage of state constitutional amendments. Hume concludes that judges will be capable of producing meaningful social change-and protecting minority rights-only when they have the institutional resources that they need to stand against popular opinion. </div>

However, this capacity may not be universal but conditional, depending on the institutional design of courts. In the United States, institutional differences between federal and state courts may make state judiciaries less capable of increasing public support for government policies. I investigate this possibility using an original survey experiment. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of three treatments, attributing the legalization of same-sex marriage to a state court, a governor, or a state legislature. I find, generally, that state courts are no more effective than other state institutions at building public support, but that this capacity of courts is variable, depending on levels of judicial independence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></em></div>

I use an original database to examine whether judicial opinions systematically influence administrative behavior, including whether agencies file certiorari petitions following adverse decisions, the amount of policy change they enact and the timing of their responses, and whether administrators cite circuit court decisions as precedent in subsequent proceedings. I also draw upon dozens of interviews with current and former administrators, taking readers behind the scenes of these organizations to reveal their internal procedures, their attitudes about courts, and their capacity to be influenced by a judge’s choice of words. </em></div>Robert J.

It is hypothesized that citation patterns vary depending on features of judicial opinions, such as the legal grounding, the amount of supporting evidence, and the decision to sign the opinion. These features provide information about the importance of cases, which influences whether judges in other circuits cite them. The results affirm that judicial opinion language influences citation patterns but that additional factors also matter, such as the number of times a precedent has been cited within its circuit of origin, the ideological compatibility of a precedent with the preferences of other judges, and independent signals of case importance. The findings are significant because they suggest that judges who care about policy and are willing to take affirmative steps to encourage citations to their opinions have the capacity to influence whether judges in other circuits cite them.<em><br /></em></em></div>

In this article, we ask why. We test one popular explanation--that compliance can be attributed to judges' fear of having their decisions reversed--through an analysis of search and seizure cases decided in the U.S. Courts of Appeals between 1961 and 1990. Since the Supreme Court cannot reverse a decision unless it agrees to review it, we ask whether circuit judges are more likely to decide as the Supreme Court would be expected to when they face cases that are otherwise more likely to be reviewed by the Court. Finding that they are not, we conclude that fear of reversal cannot account for widespread circuit court compliance in these cases, nor, presumably, more generally. More broadly, our findings point to the importance of factors apart from supervisors and the threat of sanctions in determining subordinates' compliance.</em></div>
