HEINONLINE JUDGES AND THE JUDICIARY: EXPLORING AMERICA'S COURT SYSTEM


Item #: 72493

Subjects: JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION, PUBLIC LAW & POLICY

Judges and the Judiciary: Exploring America’s Court System compiles comprehensive resources that analyze the complex web of judiciary structures, composition, oversight, procedures, and actions within America’s court system. This database was originally built around Bernard D. Reams, Jr., et al.’s Congress and the Courts: A Legislative History, 1787-2018, which collected congressional documents related to the composition and structure of Article III Courts. While this important work is still prominently featured in the database, it is now supported and supplemented with content that dives into more complex philosophical issues concerning the judiciary, including the removal of judges and judicial ethics, especially in the wake of recent reports that highlighted lavish gifts bestowed upon Supreme Court justices.

Features:

  • Coverage of federal and state courts
  • A Legislative History subcollection
  • Enhanced faceting on search results
  • 14 brand-new subjects and subject-coding of all titles
  • Direct linking to our History of Supreme Court Nominations database
