Contents:

Historical periods of conflict with the courts -- Regular interactions between Congress and the courts -- The courts as pawns in the culture wars -- The House Judiciary Committee : the committee of lawyers -- Three recent threats to judicial independence -- The need for judicial independence.

Scope and content: "Given the importance of the relationship between Congress and the federal court system, this book examines the interactions between those two institutions, focusing mostly on congressional attitudes toward the federal courts and federal judges. Although scholars have traditionally tended to study these institutions in isolation, we must always remember that these institutions are part of a larger system of government. The interactions between Congress and the federal courts (and especially the Supreme Court) are essential to maintaining judicial independence so that the courts can assert their proper voice in the American system of government"--Introduction
