1702693351 The classic study of how the justices select cases and construct the Court’s docket is Deciding to Decide: Agenda Setting in the United States Supreme Court by H. W. Perry Jr. (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1991). Based on extensive interviews by the author, a political scientist, with justices and their clerks (quoted but not identified by name), the book reflects the inner working of the Court of more than two decades ago. But its observations about the Court’s internal dynamic nonetheless remain valuable.

1702693353 There is a large political science literature on how the justices actually decide the cases they have undertaken to review. The Choices Justices Make by Lee Epstein and Jack Knight (Washington, DC: CQ Press, 1998) examines strategic behavior among justices as they strive to accomplish their policy goals. Supreme Court Decision-Making: New Institutionalist Approaches, edited by Cornell W. Clayton and Howard Gillman (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999) is a collection of essays by different authors exploring aspects of the institutional context in which the justices do their work. Relying less on theory and more on narrative, Decision: How the Supreme Court Decides Cases by Bernard Schwartz (New York: Oxford University Press, 1996) uses internal memoranda and unpublished drafts of opinions to provide a series of portraits of the Court at work. A book aimed primarily at a student audience, Understanding the U.S. Supreme Court: Cases and Controversies by Kevin T. McGuire (New York: McGraw Hill, 2002), takes an unusual approach, using four cases and two fierce confirmation battles to illustrate how the Court works and the role it plays in American life.

1702693355 Constitutional interpretation

1702693356

1702693357 Books on constitutional theory fill the shelves of law school libraries, and the subject is largely beyond the scope of this book. But neither should we ignore the unusual fact that two sitting Justices have entered the public space—and taken to the airwaves—to debate their distinct visions of constitutional interpretation. Justice Scalia went first with his A Matter of Interpretation: Federal Courts and the Law (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1997). Justice Breyer followed, first with Active Liberty: Interpreting Our Democratic Constitution (New York: Knopf, 2005) and then with Making Our Democracy Work: A Judge’s View (New York: Knopf, 2010).

1702693359 A short yet comprehensive introduction to the main topics and debates in constitutional law is Constitutional Law by Michael C. Dorf and Trevor W. Morrison (New York: Oxford University Press, 2010) in the Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law series. At much greater length, a useful overview of how constitutional doctrine has developed through Supreme Court decisions is Constitutional Law for a Changing America by Lee Epstein and Thomas G. Walker (Washington, DC: CQ Press, 6th ed., 2007). Though intended for the undergraduate classroom, its two volumes, Rights, Liberties, and Justice and Institutional Powers and Constraints, are amply sophisticated to satisfy other readers. The authors provide helpful context, from secondary sources and their own explanations, for the many opinions the book excerpts.

1702693367 The Court’s own website, www.supremecourt.gov, is a user-friendly, continually updated source of information. Opinions and orders are posted within minutes after they are issued. In all cases accepted for argument, briefs are posted through a collaborative arrangement between the Court and the American Bar Association. The site includes argument schedules as well as an electronic docket that is rich in information about the status on pending petitions for certiorari, the dates when various briefs are due to be filed, as well as the ultimate disposition of each case. Transcripts of oral arguments are posted several hours after the argument has concluded. Every Friday of a week during which the justices are sitting, the Court posts the audio of all arguments heard during that week.
