Decision Making and Controversies in State Supreme Courts delves into the examination of state supreme court decision-making processes during contentious disputes. By utilizing case studies centered around Alabama, Louisiana, and Wisconsin, Salmon Shomade identifies and analyzes the primary factors that shape decision-making outcomes during such conflicts. Within this comprehensive book, Shomade explores the profound impact of interpersonal dynamics and contentious issues such as religion, race, and gender on the judicial decision-making process.

Specifically, the book takes a close look at prominent figures, including former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore and the Ten Commandments monument crisis, Louisiana Chief Justice Bernette Johnson and her elevation dispute, and former Wisconsin Justice David Prosser and his conflicts with two female colleagues. By building upon established models employed for assessing state appellate courts, Decision Making and Controversies in State Supreme Courts makes valuable contributions to the literature on decision-making within these critical judicial institutions.

This insightful work sheds light on the complex interplay between personal relationships, societal dynamics, and legal principles, providing valuable insights into the decision-making processes of state supreme courts and their role in shaping the legal landscape.
