Lawrence Baum studies the U.S. Supreme Court and judicial behavior, focusing on how justices' ideology, partisanship, and interpretive approaches (like textualism) shape their decisions. His work also examines how Supreme Court rulings are implemented, how voters respond to judicial elections, and the relationship between law and policy more broadly. Much of his recent output builds on his book 'The Company They Keep,' which looks at partisan divisions on the Court.
