Judicial Process in America by Robert A Carp
Known for shedding light on the link between the courts, public policy, and the political environment, the new ninth edition of Judicial Process in America provides a comprehensive overview of the American judiciary
“The book is comprehensive in its coverage of topics, so it is wonderful for students who enter the class with no (or misinformed) knowledge of judicial processI have used it through several editions, and I have had numerous former students tell me that they retained their copies for future use because of its clarity. One of the real attractions of this book is that the authors are all first-rate scholars, so I have full confidence in the authors’ updating.” -- Joseph Stewart
“I like the book quite a bit. It′s thorough without being repetitive, and it covers a wide range of issues. I think the book is well balanced as is and the feedback from my students is that the book is very helpful.” -- Matthew Moore
“I like the organization of the chapters. They lend themselves especially well to the manner in which I teach my course. The book addresses all of the main topics I am looking for in a textbook. I have used this book for almost a decade and have always found it engaging and accessible to students.” -- Paul Collins
“Judicial Process in America receives good comments in our course evaluation system. I like it because of the sound scholarship, good organization, and clear, straightforward writing.” -- Wesley Skogan
“Judicial Process in America is a solid textbook, covering all that needs to be covered in a judicial process course, and then some. It is written at a level that undergrads can understand without speaking down to them or dummying down the material. One of the features I like is that it is clear the authors keep up with the political science literature on judicial politics.” -- Mark Hurwitz
“The text′s strengths are its straightforward approach and delivery of the information. It is well-written and understandable, yet still challenging enough to maintain high standards of educational quality. It does not include the distractions or unnecessary information found in other courts-related texts. Students comment that book is very informative.” -- Matthew Crow
