Two categories of preference-based theories are typically applied to analysis of US Supreme Court decision-making: social psychological theories that focus on justices' ideological attitudes and economic theories that focus on their strategic interactions within their institutional contexts. In this volume, Keith (political science, U. of Texas at Dallas) reviews these theories and assesses them against the empirical research on judicial review decisions.
