Title: Ideology, Collegiality, and the D. C. Circuit: A Reply to Chief Judge Harry T. Edwards
Abstract: of the numerous criticisms that he levels against my work. Not a single one of his arguments weakens in any way the force of my findings. The discussion proceeds as follows. Part I summarizes the prin-cipal claims made in my original article. Part II responds to the six sets of objections (each of which contains many independent com-ponents) that Chief Judge Edwards levels against my methodology. Part III takes issue with arguments advanced by Chief Judge Ed-wards in support of his account of how the D.C. Circuit decides cases. Part IV explains why Chief Judge Edwards’ views concerning the role of empirical studies of the judicial function are misguided.
