Romano and Curry add to a growing literature on judicial decision-making that moves beyond simply studying judge votes to examine opinion content. in this book, they provide a clear theoretical explanation for how the language in state high court opinions is influenced by strategic concerns related to their colleagues on the bench and relevant external actors. The book will be highly valuable to scholars of law, judicial politics, and political communications. - Michael P Fix, Georgia State University One of the first comprehensive books about opinion-writing on state high courts, Romano and Curry capture the motivations of state high court justices in this stage by focusing on the justices as representatives of specific audiences. In examining the detail of the language used in opinions, the authors bring together our understanding of political communication and judicial decision-making as we learn that justices change how they write opinions for the audiences most important to them. This new understanding of opinion-writing and novel approach to studying it add much to the literature. This work will serve as an important base to scholars who will examine the intersections of state high courts, opinion-writing, and political communication in the future. - Meghan E. Leonard, Associate Professor, Illinois State University
