Product Description
A thorough revision of a tried and true classic, the seventh edition of Judicial Process in America offers a comprehensive study of the American judicial system that integrates new scholarship and original research. Including analysis of the courts at all levels, the authors cover judges, lawyers, and litigants, as well as the powerful variables that influence judicial decision making, effectively linking the courts to public policy. In response to feedback from adopters, the authors have increased their coverage of state courts and further explore the impact of race, gender, and socio-economic factors on the judiciary. Discussion of the ideological impact of George W. Bush's judicial appointments, including two new Supreme Court justices, and inclusion of recent cases on end-of-life issues, property rights, and gay and lesbian rights bring the book fully up to date.

 actually pretty good December 4, 2008
I hate law stuff and was forced to get it for class. I actually learned a lot of stuff through this book. Pretty good!
excellent undergraduate text October 21, 2008
Carp et al's book, "Judicial Process in America" is an excellent undergraduate text that describes the state and federal courts, the players, processes, and history. It is very well written, concise, and clear. As the seventh edition, it is somewhat of a stalwart in helping individuals to better understand the judicial processes. i would have liked to see a chapter comparing american judicial processes to those of other nations. i also would have liked to see a chapter on strengths, weaknesses, and upcoming changes (e.g., specialization courts - drug and mental health) ... overall, this is an excellent read and is highly recommended for undergraduate students and perhaps as a reference for individuals who serve or wish to better understand the judicial system.
