Inside appellate courts

"Inside Appellate Courts is a comprehensive study of how the decisions of appellate judges are affected by the way a court is organized. Drawing on interviews with more than 75 federal appellate judges and law clerks, Jonathan Cohen challenges the assumption that increasing caseloads and bureaucratization have impinged on judges' abilities to bestow justice. By viewing the courts of appeals as large-scale organizations, Inside Appellate Courts elucidates how courts have walked the tightrope between justice and efficiency to increase the number of cases they decide without sacrificing their ability to dispense a high level of justice."--BOOK JACKET.
