The Judicial Process: An Introductory Analysis of the Courts of the United States, England, and France

By Henry J. Abraham

Book Overview

Written by one of the nation's most astute observers of the court, this classic text examines the theory, practice, and people behind the judicial process. The new seventh edition brings the work completely up to date by examining important developments and structural changes in these three judicial systems, up through the end of 1997, including judicial appointments during the Bush and Clinton administrations; significant alterations in the structure and organization of the United States, British, French, and other European courts, with an emphasis on the ongoing changes in the judiciary of the United Kingdom; and the collateral developments on the frontiers of judicial review procedures as well as the judicial role. At once comparative, expository, analytical, and evaluative, this new edition of The Judicial Process illuminates even more vividly the judiciary's political, legal, and governmental roles, examining closely that much debated but little understood line between "judicial activism" and "judicial restraint."

Customer Reviews

Specific to perfection

Many students in my class found this book very challenging because it had too many specifics and details. Personally, I loved the book. Before this book, I did not know a lick about Judicial Process, and now I am very comfortable.

One of the few textbooks I've saved

This book was assigned as a text for a poli sci class I took in college. It was great then and is still great now. I refer to it often, it includes everything one could want to know about the judiciary branch (and includes some answers to questions I hadn't even thought of asking) I came here today to buy the 1998 edition, because I have worn the 93 edition out.
