    • Courts, Judges and Politics . POL S 115

    The role and significance of the judiciary in the American political system. Such questions as: how cases go through the courts, how "interests" are represented through litigation, the processes by which judges are recruited, and the "independence" of the judiciary will be explored. The course will also entail an exploration of how judges reach decisions and the impacts and consequences of those decisions. The emphasis will be largely on the federal courts, especially the U.S. Supreme Court, and the main focus will be on "public," rather than "private" law.
