摘要：

The Supreme Court enjoys nearly complete discretion when it makes its initial agenda-setting decisions. In 1988, Greg Caldeira and John Wright published an important study that showed amicus curiae briefs signal the underlying significance of a case and increase the likelihood that the Supreme Court will grant review. We reassess this relationship using additional data and enhanced measures. Our results confirm the importance of case significance in the Court's agenda-setting decision making.
