In this valuable book, Ross Sandler and David Schoenbrod explain how this has come to pass, why it has resulted in service to the public that is worse, not better, and what can be done to restore control of these programs to democratically elected-and accountable-officials.Sandler and Schoenbrod tell how the courts, with the best intentions and often with the approval of elected officials, came to control ordinary policy making through court decrees. These court regimes, they assert, impose rigid and often ancient detailed plans that can founder on reality. Newly elected officials, who may wish to alter the plans in response to the changing wishes of voters, cannot do so unless attorneys, court-appointed functionaries, and lower-echelon officials agree. The result is neither judicial government nor good government, say Sandler and Schoenbrod, and they offer practical reforms that would set governments free from this judicial stranglehold, allow courts to do their legitimate job of protecting rights, and strengthen democracy. 606 $aJudge-made law$zUnited States 606 $aJudicial power$zUnited States 606 $aCourts$zUnited States 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 615 0$aJudge-made law 615 0$aJudicial power 615 0$aCourts 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a347.73/1 700 $aSandler$b Ross$01571254 701 $aSchoenbrod$b David$01490587 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777856503321 996 $aDemocracy by decree$93845556 997 $aUNINA
