9515335 Segal This project combines and tests role-theoretic (legal and restraintist) and policy-based (attitudinal and positive) models of Supreme Court decision making. The project will answer questions about the Court's decision making that have not been answered systematically before, such as the influence of legal arguments over text and intent, the extent of deference the Court gives to elected decision makers, and the extent of sophisticated voting by the justices. The role of legal arguments will be tested by examining claims and counterclaims as to text, intent, and precedent in briefs filed before the Court. Attitudinal effects will be tested by determining, after controlling for legal and political variables, whether justices have remaining predispositions to support litigants favoring liberal or conservative positions. These factors will be studied over the votes of the justices in the 1,018 cases docketed and decided by full opinion in the 1979, 1980, 1985, 1986, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 terms of the Court. The data that do not already exist in the U.S. Supreme Court Judicial database will be coded from a content analysis of briefs filed before the Court. %%%% This project combines and tests role-theoretic (legal and restraintist) and policy-based (attitudinal and positive) models of Supreme Court decision making.

9515335西格尔这个项目结合和测试角色理论（法律的和约束）和基于政策（态度和积极）的最高法院决策模型。该项目将回答以前没有系统回答的关于最高法院决策的问题，例如法律的论点对文本和意图的影响，最高法院对当选决策者的尊重程度，以及大法官复杂投票的程度。 法律的论点的作用将通过审查提交法院的案情摘要中的文本、意图和先例来检验。在控制了法律的和政治变量之后，态度效应将通过确定大法官是否还有倾向于支持倾向于自由派或保守派立场的诉讼当事人来进行测试。 这些因素将在最高法院1979、1980、1985、1986、1991、1992、1993和1994年任期内，根据法官对1，018起案件的投票进行研究。美国最高法院司法数据库中尚未存在的数据将根据提交给法院的简报的内容分析进行编码。 该项目结合并测试角色理论（法律的和约束）和基于政策（态度和积极）的最高法院决策模型。该项目将回答以前没有系统回答的关于最高法院决策的问题，例如法律的论点对文本和意图的影响，最高法院对当选决策者的尊重程度，以及大法官复杂投票的程度。 法律的论点的作用将通过审查提交法院的案情摘要中的文本、意图和先例来检验。在控制了法律的和政治变量之后，态度效应将通过确定大法官是否还有倾向于支持倾向于自由派或保守派立场的诉讼当事人来进行测试。 这些因素将在最高法院1979、1980、1985、1986、1991、1992、1993和1994年任期内，根据法官对1,018个案件的投票进行研究。美国最高法院司法数据库中尚未存在的数据将根据提交给法院的简报的内容分析进行编码。 ****
