Reviews

"""Litigant briefs are the most important mechanism through which attorneys attempt to guide or persuade justices to their desired case outcomes and opinion rationales. Hazelton and Hinkle's efforts here provide an exceptionally comprehensive accounting both of how the content of these briefs comes to be as well as how such content subsequently shapes judicial behavior on the Supreme Court. A true boon to our field, this book will influence all future studies on briefs and attorneys in the Court as well as any appellate court in the United States and beyond. Buy it, read it, cite it!""--Ryan C. Black, professor of political science, Michigan State University"
