Strategic Account of Judicial Politic

Below Kevin asks for on-line references to strategic accounts of judicial politics. I’d recommend starting with this review essay by Epstein and Knight. Their book is also a good starter.

From there I’d recommend hitting the literature starting with Eskridge’s ’91 paper in the bibliography.
"Overriding Supreme Court Statutory Interpretation Decisions," 101 Yale L.J. 331 (1991)

Caldiera, Wright and Zorn

Other selected articles that I don’t believe are freely available on the web include

1998. "Marshalling the Court: Bargaining and Accommodation on the United States Supreme Court." Spriggs, Maltzman and Wahlbeck American Journal of Political Science 42(January):294-315.

This is only a small sampling, but they are the best places to start.
