Collaborative Research: Fifty State Supreme Court Data Project

该项目将创建一个50个州最高法院数据库。 这些数据将有利于理论上集中的实证研究，是必不可少的比较司法奖学金的进展一般和国家法院的研究具体。 这些数据将结合联合收割机州最高法院法官投票，案件结果和案件特征与法官属性，机构程序和选定的国家上下文变量。 迄今为止，司法奖学金已经审查了单个国家或50个国家的研究在非常高的聚合水平。 其结果是对调查结果的划分，以及对司法行为和结果的微观和宏观解释之间的脱节。 该项目将提供系统的数据，将加速理论的发展，将法律和法官与他们的制度，政治和社会背景联系起来。 这些数据将促进不同的理论努力和严格的方法论辩论。 数据将在公共政策和社会问题国际委员会存档，并将建立一个网页，以公布数据，便利用户之间交流有用的信息。 这个项目将创建一个50个州的最高法院数据库。 这些数据将有利于理论上集中的实证研究，是必不可少的比较司法奖学金的进展一般和国家法院的研究具体。 这些数据将结合联合收割机州最高法院法官投票，案件结果和案件特征与法官属性，机构程序和选定的国家上下文变量。 迄今为止，司法奖学金已经审查了单个国家或50个国家的研究在非常高的聚合水平。 其结果是对调查结果的划分，以及对司法行为和结果的微观和宏观解释之间的脱节。 该项目将提供系统的数据，将加速理论的发展，将法律和法官与他们的制度，政治和社会背景联系起来。 这些数据将促进不同的理论努力和严格的方法论辩论。 数据将在国际公共部门会计准则委员会存档，并将建立一个网页，公布数据和 *

Hall 9617190 This project will create a 50 state supreme court data base. These data will facilitate theoretically focused empirical studies that are essential to the progress of comparative judicial scholarship generally and state court research specifically. The data will combine state supreme court judge votes, case outcomes and case characte4ristics with judge attributes, institutional procedures and selected state contextual variables. Judicial scholarship heretofore has examined single states or 50 state studies at very high levels of aggregation. The result has been a compartmentalization of findings and a disjunction between micro and macro level explanations of judicial behavior and outcomes. This project will provide the systematic data that will hasten the development of theory that connects the law and judges with their institutional, political, and social contexts. These data will promote diverse theoretical efforts and rigorous methodological debates. Data will be archived at the ICPSR and a web page will be constructed to publicize the data and to facilitate the exchange of useful information among users. %%% This project will create a 50 state supreme court data base.
