Scholars have long studied executive-legislative relations in the US system of checks and balances and have paid little attention to the friction between legislatures and courts, yet these struggles are important. Legislators may be swept away by "civic populism," loudly scapegoating the unpopular and embracing simplified panaceas to complex problems. Courts must protect the civil liberties of the unpopular and enforce limits on the public will. The authors view this perennial conflict through the lens of a case study. In 2000, the New Hampshire House of Representatives made David Brock only the seventh chief justice ever to be impeached. The charges included exercising improper influence over cases and perjury. But the real reasons ran deeper. Brock had presided over a series of unpopular decisions involving school finance. More generally, the branches disagreed over how independent courts should be. Conflicts over powers and limits always lurk below the surface of US politics and became public during Brock's trial in the state senate. He was acquitted, but efforts to restore interbranch comity went on long afterward. The authors make this interesting story into a useful introduction to institutional state politics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty., Unlike many efforts to characterize the sometimes-caustic interplay between unelected judges and elected politicians, which reveal authors' biases and predilections, Cerullo and Steelman assiduously seek throughout the narrative to fairly reflect the facts and to objectively frame the competing arguments as they emerge over time. . . . The narrative's value as an historical account is enhanced by its portrayal of the eventual changing dynamic of interbranch relations, culminating in the softening of embedded political culture of mutual contempt and intransigence. Acknowledging the extreme polarity that divides us as a nation, as a world, we might take pause and follow the trail New Hampshire painfully blazed., Scholars have long studied executive-legislative relations in the US system of checks and balances and have paid little attention to the friction between legislatures and courts, yet these struggles are important.

The authors make this interesting story into a useful introduction to institutional state politics.Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty., The Impeachment of Chief Justice David Brock: Judicial Independence and Civic Populism tackles a fascinating but little known political drama. The authors do an admirable job of presenting an evenhanded analysis of what was a highly contentious effort to remove the chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Although the events recounted occurred almost two decades ago, the attention now given to politics in the states and to questions surrounding the independence of the judicial branch make the lessons offered by this study timely. This book will be of interest to political scientists focused on judicial politics, legislative studies and American state politics, historians concerned with modern American politics, and legal scholars., The authors are well-qualified to undertake this study, and their doing so is a contribution to the understanding of our state courts and their history, as this book provides an account of things which should be remembered and understood by New Hampshire citizens, especially its attorneys and judges. . . . This is a good book, and a thorough resource about a critical time in New Hampshire history which an increasing number of bar members did not experience. . . this is a valuable book, and should be required reading by all attorneys and especially all judges, who need to understand the historic and political context in which we work., Harry Truman liked to say, 'The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know.' This is especially true in the realm of impeachment, where the focus has too often been on the use of that mechanism at the federal level. This book helps to correct that mistake. It examines a state judicial impeachment, which the authors should be commended for making better known and provides an excellent reminder of the ways in which States are as important, if not more important, than the federal government, in protecting judicial independence.

Synopsis
At this juncture in American history, some of our most hard-fought state-level political struggles involve control of state supreme courts. New Hampshire witnessed one of the most dramatic of these, culminating in the impeachment of Chief Justice David Brock in 2000, but the issues raised by the case are hardly confined to New Hampshire. They involved the proper nature and operation of judicial independence within a "populist" civic culture that had long assumed the primacy of the legislative branch, extolled its "citizen legislators" over insulated and professionalized elites, and entrusted those legislators to properly supervise the judiciary. In the last few decades of the 20th Century, New Hampshire's judiciary had been substantially reconfigured: constitutional amendments and other measures endorsed by the national judicial-modernization movement had secured for it a much higher level of independence and internal unification than it had historically enjoyed. However, a bipartisan body of legislators remained committed to the principle of legislative supremacy inscribed in the state constitution of 1784. The 1980s and 1990s witnessed a series of clashes over court administration, allegations of judicial corruption, and finally a bitter and protracted battle over Court decisions on educational funding. Chief Justice Brock publicly embodied the judicial branch's new status and assertiveness. When information came to light regarding some of his administrative actions on the high court, deepening antipathy toward him exploded into an impeachment crisis. The struggle over Brock's conduct raised significant questionsabout the meaning and proper practice of impeachment itself as a feature of democratic governance. When articles of impeachment were voted by the House of Representatives, the state Senate faced the difficult task of establishing trial protocols that would balance thepolitical and juridical responsibilities devolved on them, simultaneously, by the state constitution.Having struck that balance, the trial they conducted would finally acquit Brock of all charges. Nevertheless, David Brock's impeachment was a highly consequential ordeal that provided a needed catalyst for reforms intended to produce a productive recalibration of legislative-judicial relations., At this juncture in American history, some of our most hard-fought state-level political struggles involve control of state supreme courts.

It argues that Brock's impeachment provided a needed catalyst for reforms intended to produce a recalibration of legislative-judicial relations.

NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 3: 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum (n°403989405345)
