Description of Research |
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| My main interest of study and research is in public law. My dissertation examines circuit court decision making on the issue of capital punishment. Through a variety of methodologies, I will analyze which decision making model (legal, hierarchical, attitudinal and new institutional) appears to have the greatest influence in this area of the law. | |
