The scientific study of judicial politics stands at the brink of becoming marginal to the discipline. Recent trends indicate articles have not increased despite the increase in journal space, fewer than half of the doctoral dissertations completed in the subfield are empirical or formal rather than prescriptive or doctrinal, and the top 25 universities employ relatively few scholar in the area of law and courts - even fewer with a scientific orientation. To respond to these disturbing patterns, a series of annual conferences is planned. These conferences will increase interaction among members of the subfield, serve to attract and socialize graduate students, and build bridges between research in the subfield and the rest of the discipline.

对司法政治学的科学研究正处于边缘学科的边缘。最近的趋势表明，尽管期刊篇幅增加，但论文并没有增加，在该分领域完成的博士论文中，只有不到一半是经验或正式的，而不是规定性或教条性的，排名前25位的大学在法律和法院领域聘用的学者相对较少--具有科学定位的更少。为了应对这些令人不安的模式，计划举行一系列年度会议。这些会议将增加该分领域成员之间的互动，有助于吸引和社交研究生，并在该分领域的研究与该学科的其他领域之间架起桥梁。
