Abstract

Although these decisions can often seem narrowly technical, recent years have shown how judges can shape outcomes in areas as disparate as taxation, welfare, and asylum. This panel provides an opportunity for scholars to link detailed court decisions to broad "political" factors. The papers of this panel use innovative qualitative or quantitative methods to study the problems that are peculiar to courts, particularly insofar as they relate to legal language, symbolism, and voting decisions.
