Despite the central role that the Supreme Court regularly plays in\u00a0significant matters of public concern, our understanding of the relationship between the Court and the American public remains strikingly\u00a0underdeveloped. We have voluminous scholarship on the Court itself\u2014on the development of the institution, on the people who have sat on\u00a0the bench, and on their written opinions. And we have some understanding, largely through opinion poll data, of attitudes of the American people toward their highest court and the decisions it issues. But\u00a0when it comes to the connection between the two\u2014on the pathways of\u00a0communication that link the public and their Supreme Court\u2014there is\u00a0still much work to be done. This issue of the C\u029c\u026a\u1d04\u1d00\u0262\u1d0f-K\u1d07\u0274\u1d1b L\u1d00\u1d21 R\u1d07\u1d20\u026a\u1d07\u1d21 marks an important step toward a better understanding of the nature\u00a0and evolution of the relationship between the Court and the public.<\/p>\n
