| Sumario: | Is the American judiciary still the least dangerous branch, as Alexander Hamilton and legal scholar Alexander Bickel characterized it? Unlike legislatures or administrative agencies, courts do not make policy so much as direct and redirect policy as it is implemented.

Powers and Rothman explore the impact of the federal courts, providing a brief account of the development. |
