Public Interest Law: An Annotated Bibliography & Research Guide

by Lee Epstein, Tracey E. George, Joseph F. Kobylka

Overview

This volume convincingly lays to rest two held beliefs that have long impeded scholarly analysis of the role of courts and litigation in American politics: 1) that group resort to the courts is a rather recent phenomenon resulting from actions of the Warren Court and the Civil Rights Movement; and 2) that unique and distinctive features of the judiciary somehow place it beyond or outside analytic frameworks used to study and analyze the role, nature and functioning of other governing institutions such as the Congress and the presidency. The title of the volume ~ Public Interest Law Sourcebook -- accurately describes its central purpose and method as descriptive and informative.

Editorial Reviews

Annotations of one to two paragraphs accompany citations of published books and articles on the use of the judicial system by special interest groups. Students, researchers, and managers of groups will be interested to learn that such activity dates back to the 1800s, and to learn about some early pioneering studies largely unknown to modern scholars.
