Attitudinal decision making and the Supreme Court. 330 $a"In a ground-breaking study on the nature of judicial behaviour in the Supreme Court of Canada, Donald Songer, Susan Johnson, C.L. Ostberg, and Matthew Wetstein use three specific research strategies to consider the ways in which justices seek to make decisions grounded in "good law" and to show how these decisions are shaped within a collegial court. The authors use confidential interviews with Supreme Court justices, analysis of their rulings from 1970 to 2005, and measures that tap their perceived ideological tendencies to provide a critical examination of the ideological roots of judicial decision making, uncovering the complexity of contemporary judicial behaviour. Examining judicial behaviour through the lens of three different research strategies grounded in qualitative and quantitative methodologies, Law, Ideology, and Collegiality presents compelling evidence that political ideology is a key factor in decision making and a prominent source of conflict in the Supreme Court of Canada."--Back cover. 606 $aJudges$zCanada$xAttitudes 606 $aJudicial process$zCanada 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power$zCanada 607 $aCanada 615 0$aJudges$xAttitudes. 615 0$aJudicial process 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power 676 $a347.7 700 $aSonger$b Donald R.$01089506 701 $aSonger$b Donald R$01089506 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825652403321 996 $aLaw, ideology, and collegiality$93913111 997 $aUNINA
