The Citing of Law Reviews by the United States Courts of Appeals: An Empirical Analysis

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: Recent studies have analyzed the citation practices of legal periodicals' and some courts.However, none has given attention to the United States Courts of Appeals.Next to the United States Supreme Court and some state supreme courts, the federal circuit courts may be the most policy-oriented tribunals and hence the most receptive to the theory-oriented discussions of the law reviews.An inquiry into their citation practices could furnish insight into how useful these courts find legal scholarship.This study launches the inquiry by examining the frequency with which the federal circuit courts cite legal periodicals.
