Strategic Judicial Decision MakingPablo T. SpillerUniversity of California, Berkeley - Business & Public Policy Group Rafael GelyUniversity of Missouri School of Law August 2007 NBER Working Paper No. w13321 Abstract: This survey paper starts from the basic, and intuitive, assumption that judges are human and as such, can be modeled in the same fashion we model politicians, activists, managers: driven by well-defined preferences, behaving in a purposive and forward-looking fashion. We explore, then, the role politics play in judicial decision-making. We provide a brief overview of what is called the "strategic approach," compare it to alternative approaches to understand judicial behavior, and offer some concluding thoughts about the future of positive analyses of judicial decision-making.
