Selective Publication in the U.S. Courts of Appeals: The Invisible Norm that Perpetuates Inequality presents a comprehensive examination of the theoretical and empirical implications of a key institutional practice in a highly influential set of courts. This book sheds light on the social justice consequences of not publishing all opinions by drawing on an original dataset of over 200,000 cases. Hinkle's rigorous analysis reveals how the seemingly benign institutional feature of selective publication contributes to problematic differences in the way resources and demographic features shape power and privilege in the circuit courts.
This book exposes how the decision to publish or not publish an opinion plays a significant role in who gets what, when, and how in a court of law. Academics and students will find Selective Publication in the U.S. Courts of Appeals an accessible tool for understanding circuit courts as an important political institution. Those who shape and are affected by circuit rules will gain important insight about the implications of existing rules that can inform ongoing discussions regarding potential reforms.
