Description
Thoroughly revised, with expanded historical and international coverage, Judges on Judging offers insights into the judicial philosophies and political views of those on the bench. In this wide-ranging collection, Supreme Court justices, as well as lower federal and state court judges, discuss the judicial process, constitutional and statutory interpretation, judicial federalism, and the role of the judiciary. New selections come from such distinguished jurists as Judge Jerome Frank (U.S. Court of Appeals), Judge D. Brock Hornby (U.S. District Court), Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. (Supreme Court of the United States), Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo (Supreme Court of the United States), and Chief Justice Aharon Barak (Supreme Court of Israel). With updated introductions to provide readers with necessary thematic and historical context, this book is the perfect supplement to present a nuanced view of the judiciary.
