These tactics have become part and parcel of today's election politics in America, and judicial elections are no exception. Attacking Judges takes a close look at the effects of televised advertising, including harsh attacks, on state supreme court elections. Author Melinda Gann Hall investigates whether these divisive elections have damaging consequences for representative democracy. To do this, Hall focuses on two key aspects of those elections: the vote shares of justices seeking reelection and the propensity of state electorates to vote. In doing so, Attacking Judges explores vital dimensions of the conventional wisdom that campaign politics has deleterious consequences for judges, voters, and state judiciaries. Countering the prevailing wisdom with empirically based conclusions, Hall uncovers surprising and important insights, including new revelations on how attack ads influence public engagement with judicial elections and their relative effectiveness in various types of state elections. Attacking Judges is a testament to the power of institutions in American politics and the value of empirical political science research in helping to inform some of the most significant debates on the public agenda. This book's results smartly contest and eradicate many of the fears judicial reformers have about the damaging effects of campaign negativity in modern state supreme court elections. 410 0$aStanford Studies in Law and Politics 606 $aAdvertising, Political -- Law and legislation -- United States 606 $aCourts of last resort -- United States -- States 606 $aJudges -- United States -- Election 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power -- United States -- States 606 $aJudges$xElection$zUnited States 606 $aAdvertising, Political$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aCourts of last resort$xStates$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical questions and judicial power$xStates$zUnited States 615 4$aAdvertising, Political -- Law and legislation -- United States. 615 4$aCourts of last resort -- United States -- States. 615 4$aJudges -- United States -- Election. 615 4$aPolitical questions and judicial power -- United States -- States. 615 0$aJudges$xElection 615 0$aAdvertising, Political$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aCourts of last resort$xStates 615 0$aPolitical questions and judicial power$xStates 676 $a324.973 700 $aHall$b Melinda Gann$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0905147 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826268603321 996 $aAttacking Judges$93952553 997 $aUNINA
