For nearly a decade, a team of researchers was busily at work preparing a data base on the decisions of the United States Supreme Court. This book documents those efforts. Specifically, this book is a codebook and a user's guide to the data. In addition to documenting each of the codes in the data set, this book also provides specific details on how the variables were coded, as well as information about the reliability of the results. Three major aspects of these decisions are addressed: the values expressed in the opinions of the Court (including concurrences, dissents, etc.), the attributes of the litigants in each case, and the nature and extent of participation in the litigation by amicus curiae.

The Author: James L. Gibson is currently Cullen Distinguished Professor at the University of Houston. He has published extensively in many areas of political science, from papers on the sentencing behavior of American judges to political tolerance in Russia and South Africa. He is the co-author of Civil Liberties and Nazis: The Skokie Free-Speech Controversy and Party Organizations and American Politics, and dozens of papers in major political science journals.
