Title: Business, the Roberts Court, and the Solicitor General
Abstract: Abstract This chapter in Business and the Roberts Court provides an empirical analysis of the Roberts Court’s decisions in business-related cases exploring whether there is an identifiable “probusiness” trend. While such analyses are not conclusive, due to the potential for selection bias, business interests have fared reasonably well in the period studied. The “win rate” of the Chamber of Commerce is slightly greater than that of the Solicitor General’s office, and yet when the Chamber and the Solicitor General have disagreed on the merits and the government has participated as amicus curiae, the Chamber has lost more than it has won. Interestingly, as the Obama administration has less frequently embraced the interests of business, the Supreme Court has less frequently embraced the views of the Solicitor General in business-related cases.
