Description

Book Synopsis
The US Supreme Court exists to resolve constitutional disputes between the lower courts and the other branches of government. American law and society function more effectively when the Court resolves ambiguous questions of Constitutional law. Yet a Court that prioritizes resolving many disputes will at times produce contradictory sets of opinions.

Trade Review
The author sets out to accomplish an ambitious task and, in my view, achieves that task. The phenomenon under investigation has not received sufficient attention in the extant literature and Matthew B. Hitt's treatment of it is both wide and deep."" - Wendy Martinek, Binghamton University
