In this innovative book, Nancy Staudt focuses on the role of federal courts in fiscal matters during warfare and high-cost national defense emergencies. There is, she argues, a judicial power of the purse that becomes evident upon examining the budgetary effects of judicial decision making. The book provides substantial evidence that judges are willing-maybe even eager-to redirect private monies into government hands when the country is in peril, but when the judges receive convincing cues that ongoing wartime activities undermine the nation's interests, they are more likely to withhold funds from the government by deciding cases in favor of private individuals and entities who show up in court. In stark contrast with conventional legal, political, and institutional thought that privileges factors associated with individual preferences, The Judicial Power of the Purse sheds light on environmental factors in judicial decision making and will be an excellent read for students of judicial behavior in political science and law.Chicago series on international and domestic institutions.War and emergency legislationEconomic aspectsUnited StatesJudicial powerEconomic aspectsUnited StatesJudge-made lawEconomic aspectsUnited StatesFiscal policyUnited Statesjudge, trial, courtroom, court, national, defense, funds, funding, fundraising, crisis, academic, scholarly, research, law school, legal, litigation, lawyer, legislature, government, federal, fiscal, warfare, cost, judicial, emergency, budget, money, politics, political, economic, united states, usa, america, jurisprudence, foreign, policy.War and emergency legislationEconomic aspectsJudicial powerEconomic aspectsJudge-made lawEconomic aspectsFiscal policy347.73/12Staudt Nancy1625626MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811536203321The judicial power of the purse3961224UNINA
