Epstein 9614130 Since 1989, the investigator has produced two major data bases on the U.S. Supreme Court. The first, which is updated annually, relies exclusively on the published Reports of the Court's decisions. The second includes unpublished conference votes and opinion assignments of the justices who served during the Vinson (1946-1952) and Warren (1953-1968) Courts. This project will update and extend the previous work to encompass the Burger Court (1969-1986). Inclusion of the Burger Court conference vote data will provide investigators with the complete voting record of each justice in every case in which a conference vote was cast during a 40-term period,. 1945-1986. Analysts will have access to a standardized, highly reliable data file with which they may compare individual and Court voting across vote types, as well as voting changes of individual justices from one type of vote to another. Because a raft of background, chronological, substantive, outcome, and opinion variables are associated with these votes, the richness of the resulting data will enhance the formulation of theory and the testing of hypotheses. %%% Since 1989, the investigator has produced two major data bases on the U.S. Supreme Court.

自1989年以来，调查员制作了美国最高法院的两个主要数据库。第一份报告每年更新一次，完全依据已公布的法院判决报告。第二份包括文森（1946-1952）和沃伦（1953-1968）两届最高法院法官未公开的会议投票和意见分配。这个项目将更新和扩展以前的工作，包括汉堡法院（1969-1986）。包括汉堡法院会议投票数据将为调查人员提供在40个任期内每一个会议投票案件中每一个法官的完整投票记录。1945 - 1986。分析人员将获得一个标准化的、高度可靠的数据文件，他们可以用它来比较不同投票类型的个人和法院投票，以及法官个人从一种投票类型到另一种投票类型的投票变化。由于大量的背景、时间、实质、结果和意见变量与这些投票有关，因此结果数据的丰富性将加强理论的形成和假设的检验。自1989年以来，调查员已经制作了美国最高法院的两个主要数据库。第一份报告每年更新一次，完全依据已公布的法院判决报告。第二份包括文森（1946-1952）和沃伦（1953-1968）两届最高法院法官未公开的会议投票和意见分配。这个项目将更新和扩展以前的工作，包括汉堡法院（1969-1986）。包括汉堡法院会议投票数据将为调查人员提供在40个任期内每一个会议投票案件中每一个法官的完整投票记录。1945 - 1986。分析人员将获得一个标准化的、高度可靠的数据文件，他们可以用它来比较不同投票类型的个人和法院投票，以及法官个人从一种投票类型到另一种投票类型的投票变化。由于大量的背景、时间、实质、结果和意见变量与这些投票有关，因此结果数据的丰富性将加强理论的形成和假设的检验。＊＊＊
