Abstract:
|
This paper presents a view of judicial involvement in the development of public policy which challenges common understandings of the interaction between courts and legislatures as being marked by conflict or emphasizing struggles for power. It draws on a study of the relationship between the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts (the high court) and the General Court (the legislature) from the 1970s through the 1990s' in which over 3400 opinions were analyzed and for which justices and staff were interviewed. |
