Reviews

"This is the first comprehensive account of consensus building; it is imaginative and thorough and makes an important contribution to understanding the Court's internal dynamics ... Highly recommended." - P. Lermack, CHOICE "[A]n important empirical study on Supreme Court decision making ... The variety of sources referenced results in a very rich bibliography ... [T]he accessible writing and detailed explanations of the authors' methodology make this an excellent addition to an academic law library." - Tina M. Brooks, Law Library Journal "In The Puzzle of Unanimity, the authors skillfully probe the sources of consensus on the Supreme Court and provide new insights on the considerations that shape the justices' choices. Their book is an important contribution to the understanding of judicial behavior." - Lawrence Baum, Ohio State University "The Puzzle of Unanimity is sure to be the definitive treatment of unanimity on the Supreme Court. By providing a persuasive theoretical account of unanimity and subjecting it to testing with both qualitative and quantitative research methods, Corley, Steigerwalt, and Ward answer a question that has vexed scholars for decades: why are justices from varying political orientations able to put aside their differences and reach agreement on some of the most pressing issues facing society?" - Paul M. Collins, Jr., University of North Texas
