Today’s NYT includes an op-ed commenting on an empirical piece, co-authored by Lori Ringhand (Kentucky–soon-to-be Georgia) along with our very own ELS blog editors Jason Czarnezki and William Ford, forthcoming in Constitutional Commentary. The authors report that:

information about future judicial behavior. Inquiries into specific
issue areas - such as the rights of criminal defendants - may be
slightly more informative."
