Relying on an expansive database of Canadian Supreme Court rulings between 1984 and 2003, the authors present the most systematic discussion of the attitudinal model of decision making ever conducted outside the setting of the US Supreme Court. The groundbreaking discussion of the viability of this model as a unifying theory of judicial behaviour in high courts around the world will be essential reading for a wide range of legal scholars and court watchers.Law and society series (Vancouver, B.C.)Judicial processCanadaCourts of last resortCanadaJudgesCanadaAttitudesPolitical questions and judicial powerCanadaJudicial processCourts of last resortJudgesAttitudes.Political questions and judicial power347.71/035Ostberg C.
