The power and influence of the federal judiciary has been widely discussed and understood. And while there have been a fair number of institutional studies - studies of individual district courts or courts of appeal - there have been very few studies of the judiciary that emphasize the judges themselves. This book fills that gap.
Life before admission to the bar -- When they were lawyers -- Judicial appointments recounted -- Once appointed, transition to the job -- Nature of the job -- In chambers, in court, and getting along with others -- Judicial opinions -- Judges on lawyers and other judges.
