Kapiszewski’sanalysis places the strategic calculusof courts within their historical andinstitutional contexts, ultimatelyproducing an account that feelsmore true to the way judges actuallydecide and the way politiciansinteract with their courts. Herargument incorporates what is uniqueabout courts as legal institutions,while remaining fully political in itsanalysis. An excellent addition tothe burgeoning comparative judicialpolitics literature.’Daniel M.
