This paper uses statistical analysis of function words used in legal
judgments written by United States Supreme Court justices, to determine which
justices have the most variable writing style (which may indicated greater
reliance on their law clerks when writing opinions), and also the extent to
which different justices' writing styles are distinguishable from each other.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/10-AOAS378 the Annals of
