The impact of interest groups on judicial decision making :A comparison of women's groups in the United States and Canada.[electronic resource] - 328 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Ohio State University, 1999.

The analyses in the first part of the project discovered that two of the three American groups studied were both successful and influential in terms of case outcomes. The Canadian group was also successful and influential at this level. However, none of the women's groups were particularly influential at the case level in terms of doctrine. The second part of the project discovered that the women's groups did have influence on the development of doctrine in the long term. The analyses also discovered that American models of judicial decision making do not have as much explanatory power in Canada at the individual case level. However, the Supreme Courts in both countries did appear to be influenced by similar factors over the long term. The study concluded that women's groups' litigation is worth the time and resources devoted to it.

520 # $a This project is a study of the determinants of judicial behaviour and judicial policy. It focuses on the impact of interest groups on judicial decisions and examines the success and influence of women's interest groups before the American and Canadian Supreme Courts. The first part of the dissertation involves multivariate analyses of individual cases with decisions analyzed in terms of both outcomes (reversal or affirmance) and doctrines (judicial reasoning supporting the outcomes). The second part of the project shifts the focus to qualitative analyses of the development of doctrine in policy areas in order to examine the extent to which groups are successful and influential over the long term in the areas of interest to them. Those analyses consider development of judicial doctrine as well as legislative action on the same issues.
