  • Fire Alarms Or Smoke Detectors: the Role of Interest Groups in Confirmation of United States Courts of Appeals Judges
    FIRE ALARMS OR SMOKE DETECTORS: THE ROLE OF INTEREST GROUPS IN CONFIRMATION OF UNITED STATES COURTS OF APPEALS JUDGES By DONALD E. CAMPBELL A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2016 © 2016 Donald E. Campbell To Ken and JJ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It took Leo Tolstoy six years to write War and Peace. It has taken me twice that long to complete this dissertation, and I am certain I required much more support throughout the process than Tolstoy. I begin my acknowledgements with Dr. Marcus Hendershot. In short, this dissertation would not have been possible without Marc’s guidance, advice, and prodding. Every aspect of this dissertation has Marc’s imprint on it in some way. I cannot imagine the amount of time that he spent providing comments and suggestions. I will forever be in his debt and gratitude. I also want to thank the other members of my dissertation committee. Dr. Lawrence Dodd, the chair, has been a steadying force in my graduate school life since (literally) the first day I stepped in the door of Anderson Hall. His advice and encouragement will never be forgotten. The other members of my committee–Dr. Beth Rosenson, Dr. David Hedge, and Professor Danaya Wright (University of Florida School of Law)–have been more than understanding as the months dragged into years of getting the dissertation finalized. No one could ask for a better or more understanding dissertation committee. There are also several individuals outside of the University of Florida that I owe acknowledgements.
