Working within the framework of law and politics, JUDICIAL PROCESS combines detailed information about the major structures and processes of the American judiciary with an insider's understanding of the importance of courthouse dynamics. From the organization and procedures of the various courts to the current applications of specific laws, this text explores the roles and impact of the judicial system. Throughout the text, the authors not only explain what the legal rules are but also explore each rule's underlying assumptions, history, and goals--for a complete and balanced look at the role of the judicial system today.

"The text is very readable, making it accessible to a very broad range of student capabilities. The coverage of topics is outstanding, leaving very little room for complaint that some important matter is not dealt with. Finally, the additional materials scattered throughout the text make it a far more interesting and informative text than would be the case were it to simply provide information about the various topics covered."
