Who Asked You? The (Dis)Use of Questions Presented at the U.S. Supreme Court
Claire Wofford AND Matthew Reid Krell analyze the United States Supreme Court’s policymaking efforts and its exercise of agenda-setting power. They argue that when the Court agrees to hear a case it also determines what legal questions it will answer in that case. They assess the argument by investigating the variation in the Court’s acceptance, alteration, and addition of questions presented (QPs) in petitions for the writ of certiorari.
