Publisher Synopsis
"James L. Gibson is an intellectual giant in the field of judicial politics, and Electing Judges may be his most important contribution to date. This is a first-rate piece of scholarship that speaks directly to the central arguments in a highly contentious ongoing debate. For all interested in the judicial selection process, Gibson's evidence is powerful and simply cannot be ignored." (Chris W. Bonneau, University of Pittsburgh)" Read more...
