Now in academia, there still is some hindrances between these two fields. Political science still is wanting to concern itself with the behavior and the processes of the creation of the policies; the legal field still continues to only worry that the law is, and are only concerned with the particular facts behind each cases. However, in certain the academic fields, are beginning to cross over in their studies.
Law can contribute to political science many ideas and concepts that are not considered in political science. First, legal studies defines how the courts and how policies are made. This is done though different doctrines that are created in the courts. In legal education, the logic of how to unpack these doctrines are drilled into the …show more content…
These codified regulations will be what the courts will interpret. This means that eventually the courts will have to rule on the politicking of the legislature’s creation. The recognition of how politics influences the legislative process and how the politics influences the law will lead to the courts understanding the influence. This is because the courts are lawyers, and if the legal education changes, it means that eventually the courts will better appreciate the political process. It would be better to have judges and justices understand the political process. INSERT SANDEA DAY OCONER COMMENTS ON LEGISLATORS AS JUDGES. This would lead to a more rounded court that understands that the political process would be better represented in the courts, and within the judicial process. The judicial process means that the laws and policies could be potentially challenged in the courts…eventually. The courts that will interpret the laws and policies will change the laws and policies. This is their job, if they can better understand and appreciate the political process, these judges and justices would develop better reasoning behind the laws, because of the paper trail that is created with the creation of …show more content…
This behavioral information can explain some of the behavior for legislators who are in swing districts and why they craft the legislation in particular ways. With regards to the judges and the courts, political scientist can help the legal field understand the behavior of the different judges and the different courts. This information can help with the understanding of how and why judges’ rule in certain courts verses other judges in other courts. This behavior can lead to lawyers to venue selection for their cases that will be filed in the suits. Now, while venue shopping is not always the most courteous thing a lawyer can do, it does allow for a potentially larger jury pool (the difference between state court and federal court), jurisdiction selection could allow for a better outcome for the different law suits that a lawyer will file with many jurisdictions that would cover the
