That is the central question \u003ci\u003eCourting Political Minorities\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to answer. As the United States has grown and changed over the years, the nation's courts have transformed as well, not only in terms of the kinds of disputes litigated but especially in terms of the people selected to become judges. In particular, the representative nature of the judiciary has changed over time. Authors Drew N. Lanier and Mark S. Hurwitz evaluate and analyze these transformations in judicial diversity and, moreover, define and examine judicial diversity beyond racial and gender diversity. Indeed, due to the unique and extensive role courts play in the United States, where judges determine the extent of individual rights, define the constitutionality and scope of governmental actions, and choose the winners and losers in litigation, judicial diversity has both symbolic and political importance. Illustrating the extent of diversity in our nation's federal courts today, as well as explaining how judicial diversity has changed over time in the United States, encompasses the central themes of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drew Noble Lanier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67631817687332,"sku":"9798855813289","price":101.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0880\/7635\/3828\/files\/CoreSourceHub_7cc121b5-1598-4039-a380-d7d3e0d4cc4c.jpg?v=1791225145","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.co.uk\/products\/courting-political-minorities-1791225014151","provider":"IndiePubs UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
