		This dissertation explores whether the Office of the Solicitor General's success is the result of influence on the justices by controlling for the justices' ideologies and the other potential influences on the justices' decisions such as public opinion, Congress, state governments, petitioner bias, and the experience of the attorneys for the period of 1953-1999.
		I find that the Office of the Solicitor General does exert an independent influence on the decisions of the justices that is robust across a variety of different subcategories of the data as well as for the entire dataset.
		The influence of the Office of the Solicitor General is on a par with the impact of the justices' own ideologies.
