Book Description
The U.S. Supreme Court, far from being above the political fray, has consistently made decisions that affect the electorate in profound ways?Bush v. Gore being but one example. This revised edition of the first over-all consideration of the role of the court in the electoral process is provocative and eye opening. Of the first edition, CHOICE said, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND THE ELECTORAL PROCESS "plumbs the Supreme Court?s constitutive apolitical role as ?primary shaper of the electoral system? and reveals the pervasive involvement of the Court in the political process." The U.S. Supreme Court?at least until Bush v. Gore?had seemed to float along in an apolitical haze in the mind of the electorate. It was the executive branch and the legislative branch that mucked about in politics getting dirty, the judicial branch kept its robes?and nose?clean. THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND THE ELECTORAL PROCESS makes it abundantly clear however that before, during, and after the judicial decision that made George W. Bush the President of the United States, everything was, is, and will likely be politics?including the decisions handed down by the highest court in the land. This revised and updated edition takes into account not only the recent judicial decision on the Presidency, but a myriad of others as well in which the U.S. Supreme Court has considered the constitutionality of a wide range of issues involving voting and elections, representation, and political participation. Practitioners and academics in both law and political science examine a number of court actions that directly affect how we choose those who govern us, and how those decisions have affected our electoral politics, constitutional doctrine and the fundamental concepts of democracy, including: racial redistricting, term limits, political patronage, campaign finance regulations, third party ballot access, and state ballot initiatives limiting civil liberties.

want to go out and get in a fender-bender myself. We've all seen the famous Driver's Ed movies about the deadly physical and emotional consequences of auto accidents, but rarely has there been such in-depth treatment of the risk management and allocation consequences. I've read many books on insurance (and even reinsurance), but with the exception of Ostrager and Vyskocil's work, none have kept me turning the pages like Phillips and Chippendale. Look for more brilliance from this duo; the Simon and Garfunkel of the no-fault insurance literary community.
No-fault? It's your own dam fault if you don't buy this book March 26, 2002

While I have long followed the work of Jerry J. Phillips, it is more than obvious to the intelligentsia that Stephen Chippendale is the powerhouse in this dynamic duo. Chippendale takes the reader on a tour de force fandango adventure in the no-fault world, it really is quite first rate. He might be a younger attorney, but that is not about to intimidate that bad boy
