Measuring Judicial Activism

This book informs the debates about judicial activism with concrete empirical analyses of what judges actually do. Much has been written about judicial activism, but little social science analysis has been used to approach the topic. Since most of the scholarship is normative, doctrinal, or historical, Measuring Judicial Activism will play a key role in future debates as a non-ideological source of information and will likely become the authoritative book on the subject.
