Abstract We examine decisions to seek promotion on state courts of last resort, focusing on the conditions when an associate justice will run for the position of chief justice. We analyze data including all chief justice elections from 1990 to 2014 in the states that elect this position. We construct a taxonomy of associate justices who seek the chief justice position, then use regression analysis and postestimation techniques to better understand these choices. Our findings indicate that judicial actors who seek electoral promotion are strategic and motivated by ideological preferences rather than institutional features or raw ambition.

州最高法院的继承、机会主义和反叛:竞选首席大法官的决定

摘要 我们审查了在州终审法院寻求晋升的决定,重点关注助理法官竞选首席法官职位的条件。我们分析的数据包括 1990 年至 2014 年选举该职位的州的所有首席大法官选举。我们构建了寻求首席大法官职位的副大法官的分类,然后使用回归分析和后估计技术来更好地理解这些选择。我们的研究结果表明,寻求选举促进的司法行为者是受意识形态偏好而非制度特征或原始野心的战略性驱动。
