But as the number of appeals has increased dramatically, while the number of cases heard by the Supreme Court has remained the same, the courts of appeals have become the court of last resort for the vast majority of litigants. This enhanced status has been recognized by important political actors, and as a result, appointments to the courts of appeals have become more and more contentious since the 1990s. This combination of increasing political salience and increasing political controversy has led to the rise of serious empirical studies of the role of the courts of appeals in our legal and political system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt once building on and contributing to this wave of scholarship, \u003ci\u003eThe View from the Bench and Chambers\u003c\/i\u003e melds a series of quantitative analyses of judicial decisions with the perspectives gained from in-depth interviews with the judges and their law clerks. This multifaceted approach yields a level of insight beyond that provided by any previous work on appellate courts in the United States, making \u003ci\u003eThe View from the Bench and Chambers\u003c\/i\u003e the most comprehensive and rich account of the operation of these courts to date. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJennifer Barnes Bowie is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Richmond.
