From the Inside Flap
"[T]he most comprehensive work thus far available on the executive branch's representative in Supreme Court litigation....What makes Salokar's book so important and...makes it stand alone in the literature on the solicitor general's role in the litigation process is that she demonstrates through careful, empirical analysis how the office has been used to advance the political and policy objectives of presidential administrations over time."
-American Political Science Review
"Salokar's book provides much needed information about the process by which the solicitor general represents the interests of the executive branch before the Supreme Court. It is a timely and well researched book that should be of great interest to students of the federal legal process an executive politics."
-The Law and Politics Book Review
"Salokar's book is quite simply the best scholarly study to date of the solicitor general."
-Choice
"I know of no comparable scholarly study of the Solicitor General.... The unique set of quantitative data on the U.S. government cases that Salokar collected and analyzed...illuminates some of the important patterns in the decisions and success of the Solicitor General."
