Nonetheless, we now have specialized courts in many key policy areas. Specializing the Courts provides the first comprehensive analysis of this growing trend toward specialization in the federal and state court systems. Lawrence Baum incisively explores the scope, causes, and consequences of judicial specialization in four areas that include most specialized courts: foreign policy and national security, criminal law, economic issues involving the government, and economic issues in the private sector. Baum examines the process by which court systems in the United States have become increasingly specialized and the motives that have led to the growth of specialization. He also considers the effects of judicial specialization on the work of the courts by demonstrating that under certain conditions, specialization can and does have fundamental effects on the policies that courts make. For this reason, the movement toward greater specialization constitutes a major change in the judiciary. 410 0$aChicago series in law and society. 606 $aJudges$zUnited States 606 $aCourts$zUnited States 610 $aeconomics, government, private sector, criminal law, national security, foreign policy, judicial specialization, legal system, judges, judiciary, politics, political science, removal court, surveillance, intelligence, military justice, overseas courts, progressive era, sanctions, efficiency, litigation, regulation, revenue, expenditures, bankruptcy, business, corporate governance, patents, nonfiction. 615 0$aJudges 615 0$aCourts 676 $a347.73/14 700 $aBaum$b Lawrence$0905725 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791670203321 996 $aSpecializing the courts$93827422 997 $aUNINA
