Administering Justice examines the leadership role of chief justices in the American states, including how those duties require chief justices to be part of the broader state political environment. Vining and Wilhelm focus extensively on the power of chief justices as public spokespersons, legislative liaisons, and reform leaders. In contrast to much existing research on chief justices in the states, this study weighs their extrajudicial responsibilities rather than intracourt leadership. By assessing the content of State of the Judiciary remarks delivered over a period of sixty years, Vining and Wilhelm are able to analyze the reform agendas advanced by chief justices and determine what factors influence the likelihood of success. These analyses confirm that chief justices engage with state politics in meaningful ways and that reactions to their proposals are influenced by ideological congruence with other political elites and the scope of their requests. Administering Justice also examines the chief justice position as an institution, provides a collective profile of its occupants, and surveys growing diversity among court leaders.

An analysis of the successive reports prepared on PEC 96/92 allowed us to identify three main dimensions of judicial reform. There is, first, the problem of constitutional political jurisdiction. The second dimension of the reform deals with the existence and effectiveness of mechanisms for the control and inspection of the organs of the justice system. Finally, the third dimension contemplates the organizational and structural aspects according to its capacity to expand or reduce access to Justice and the democratization of the Judiciary.
