The final volume of a trilogy (begun with The Contours of Justice and The Tenor of Justice) based on a large-scale, complex study of nine criminal courts. Explains how criminal court policies reflect tensions or harmony among judges on the bench, and identifies and illustrates patterns of dominance and conflict within courthouse communities.
