Book Synopsis
Most Americans think that judges should be, and are, generalists who decide a wide array of cases. Nonetheless, we now have specialized courts in many key policy areas. This title presents a comprehensive analysis of this growing trend toward specialization in the federal and state court systems.

Trade Review
"Widely appealing not only to scholars in the fields of law, political science, and sociology, but to general readers as well, Specializing the Courts is a landmark treatment of a very important phenomenon written by a major scholar, encyclopedic in its range and depth. It will be the go-to source on this topic for years to come." - Charles R. Epp, University of Kansas"
