Our guest today is Nancy Staudt. Professor Staudt is Class of 1940 Research Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law. Her paper, "Does the Court Cycle?", co-authored with Lee Epstein and Thomas Brennan, is an empirical study of the correlation between economic upswings and downturns and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision-making in cases relating to economic policy. Professor Staudt is interviewed here by Professor Errol Meidinger, of the University at Buffalo Law School.
