Oral Arguments and Coalition Formation on the U.s. Supreme Court - A Deliberate Dialogue

The U.S. Supreme Court, with its controlled, highly institutionalised decision-making practices, provides an ideal environment for studying coalition formation. In order to uncover the workings of this process, the authors analyse oral argument transcripts from every case decided from 1998 through 2007, as well as the complete collection of notes kept during oral arguments by Justice Lewis F. Powell and Justice Harry A. Blackmun.
