Article Tie Votes in the Supreme Court Justin Pidot† INTRODUCTION What should the Supreme Court do with a tie vote? Since at least 1792, the Court has followed the rule that where the Justices are evenly divided, the lower court’s decision is af- firmed, and the Supreme Court’s order has no precedential ef- fect.1 Such cases are unusual but hardly scarce. Since 1866, an odd number of Justices have composed the Supreme Court, and when an odd number of individuals vote, that vote typically doesn’t result in a tie.2 Yet due to death, retirement, or recusal, there have been 164 tie votes in the Supreme Court between 1925 and 2015.3 These ties have largely, but not entirely, gone unnoticed, in part because few of them involved particularly contentious cases in the eye of the public.4 † Associate Professor, University of Denver Sturm College of Law.

  • Federal Appellate Judges' Choices About Gender-Neutral Language
    Articles Framing Gender: Federal Appellate Judges' Choices About Gender-Neutral Language By JUDITH D. FISCHER* Introduction LANGUAGE IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT in the two fields at the center of this Article. Language is the tool of the legal profession,1 and feminists recognize that language has been an instrument of both women's oppression and their liberation.2 This Article considers a question relevant to both fields: Are judges using gender-neutral lan- guage? For lawyers, the answer may inform their choice of wording when they write for judges.3 For feminists, the answer will be one marker of the success of their efforts in language reform. * Judith D. Fischer is an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Louisville's Louis D. Brandeis School of Law. She appreciates the invaluable contribution to this Article's statistical analysis by Professor Jose M. Fernandez of the University of Louisville's Department of Economics and by attorney and mathematics doctoral candidate Carole Wastog. She thanks the law faculty at Indiana University at Indianapolis for their insightful suggestions at a presentation about this study. She is also grateful to Professors Craig Anthony Arnold, Kathleen Bean, Nancy Levit, Nancy Rapoport, and Joel Schumm for their very helpful comments on earlier drafts. Finally, thanks go to Amy Jay for her excellent research assistance. 1. See, e.g., FRANK E.

  • Visiting Judges
    Visiting Judges Marin K. Levy* Despite the fact that Article III judges hold particular seats on particular courts, the federal system rests on judicial interchangeability. Hundreds of judges “visit” other courts each year and collectively help decide thousands of appeals. Anyone from a retired Supreme Court Justice to a judge from the U.S. Court of International Trade to a district judge from out of circuit may come and hear cases on a given court of appeals. Although much has been written about the structure of the federal courts and the nature of Article III judgeships, little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of “sitting by designation”—how it came to be, how it functions today, and what it reveals about the judiciary more broadly. This Article offers an overdue account of visiting judges. It begins by providing an origin story, showing how the current practice stems from two radically different traditions. The first saw judges as fixed geographically, and allowed for visitors only as a stopgap measure when individual judges fell ill or courts fell into arrears with their cases. The second assumed greater fluidity within the courts, requiring Supreme Court Justices to ride circuit—to visit different regions and act as trial and appellate judges—for the first half of the Court’s history. These two traditions together provide the critical context for modern-day visiting. DOI: https://doi.org/10.15779/Z38ZK55M67 Copyright © 2019 California Law Review, Inc. California Law Review, Inc.
