Replication Data for: A Common-Space Scaling of the American Judiciary and Legal Profession

This replication archive contains all data and code to replicate the results in "A Common-Space Scaling of the American Judiciary and Legal Profession" by Maya Sen and Adam Bonica. Abstract: We extend the scaling methodology previously used in Bonica (2014) to jointly scale the American federal judiciary and legal profession in a common-space with other political actors. The end result is the first data set of consistently measured ideological scores across all tiers of the federal judiciary and the legal profession, including 840 federal judges and 380,307 attorneys. To illustrate these measures, we present two examples involving the U.S. Supreme Court. These data open up significant areas of scholarly inquiry.

本复现档案包含了用于复现玛雅·森（Maya Sen）与亚当·博尼卡（Adam Bonica）所著《美国司法系统与法律职业的共同空间标度》一文结果所需的全部数据与代码。摘要：本文将博尼卡（Bonica）2014年研究中使用的标度方法进行拓展，用于将美国联邦司法系统、法律职业群体与其他政治行为主体置于同一共同空间中开展联合标度。最终产出的数据集为首个覆盖联邦司法系统全层级与法律职业群体的标准化意识形态得分数据集，涵盖840名联邦法官与380307名律师。为阐释上述测度方法，本文展示两个涉及美国最高法院的应用案例。本数据集为诸多学术研究领域开辟了重要的探索方向。
