This edition of “Ask the Author” features a discussion with Andrew Martin, who is a professor of law and chair of the political science department at Washington University in St. Louis. Andrew has done some very influential work on the Supreme Court, including co-authoring a paper on ideological drift of Supreme Court Justices, see [1] here, that will appear in issue four of the Northwestern University Law Review. Andrew is also well-known in political science and empirical circles for his influential Martin-Quinn scores, a technique for measuring the ideology of Supreme Court Justices that he co-developed with [2] Kevin Quinn of Harvard University.
