Wrightsman is the first book to thoroughly examine the psychology of Supreme Court decision-making. Dr. Wrightsmans book seeks to help us understand all aspects of the Supreme Courts functioning from a psychological perspective. This timely and comprehensive work addresses many factors of influence including, the background of the justices, how they are nominated and appointed, the role of their law clerks, the power of the Chief Justice, and the day-to-day life in the Court. Dr. Wrightsman uses psychological concepts and research findings from the social sciences to examine the steps of the decision-making process, as well as the ways in which the justices seek to remain collegial in the face of conflict and the degree of predictability in their votes. 410 0$aAmerican Psychology-Law Society series. 606 $aJudicial process$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects 606 $aConduct of court proceedings$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power$zUnited States 615 0$aJudicial process$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aConduct of court proceedings$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power 676 $a347.73/262 700 $aWrightsman$b Lawrence S$0148894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910814190903321 996 $aThe psychology of the Supreme Court$94090885 997 $aUNINA
