Politics of Federal Judicial Selection

Thu, September 30, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), TBA

Session Submission Type: In-Person Created Panel

Session Description

This panel features important studies that shed theoretical light on the nature of federal judicial selection, including the influence of key institutional rule changes and a highly polarized political environment. Featured papers explore the impact of the Senate’s decision to alter cloture rules and highlight the behavior of party leaders in the contemporary process. Attention is also paid, however, to exploring changes in federal judicial selection over time to better understand institutional development and the emergence of new confirmation trends.
