Description

Book Synopsis
The US Supreme Court is the quintessential example of a court that expanded its agenda into policy areas that were once reserved for legislatures. This book demonstrates that the agenda-setting process begins long before justices choose which cases they will hear.

Trade Review
Baird provides a systematic empirical basis for the influence of the justices' policy preferences on the Supreme Court's agenda, and attempts to specify the causal mechanism by which the justices' policy preferences are converted into cases that appear on the Court's agenda. She uses both statistical and qualitative analyses to persuade her readers of the critical role that policy entrepreneurs play in the agenda-setting process. - Law and Politics Book Review
