Oral Arguments Before the Supreme Court: An Empirical Approach

by Lawrence S. Wrightsman

Of all the steps in the Supreme Court's decision-making process, only one is visible to the public: the oral arguments. By carefully analyzing transcripts of all the oral arguments available to the public, Professor Wrightsman provides empirical answers to a number of questions about the
operation of oral arguments. This book provides a model for understanding the dynamics of judicial decision making from an empirical perspective.
