Specifically, Farganis and Wedeking find that Supreme Court nominees are much more forthcoming during their testimony than previously believed — a discovery that has generated great interest among judicial scholars, critics, and commentators. 

The first article, “No Hints, No Forecasts, No Previews’: An Empirical Analysis of Supreme Court Nominee Candor from Harlan to Kagan,” was published in Law & Society Review, a leading journal in the field of law and courts. The second article, “The Candor Factor: Does Nominee Evasiveness Affect Judiciary Committee Support for Supreme Court Nominees?” was published in Spring 2011 in the Hofstra Law Review.

Farganis and Wedeking are currently completing a book manuscript detailing their study of the confirmation hearing process.
