The most sophisticated theories of judicial behavior depict judges
as rational actors who strategically pursue multiple goals when
making decisions. However, these accounts tend to disregard the
possibility that judges have heterogeneous goal preferences - that
is, that different judges want different things. Integrating
insights from personality psychology and economics, this book
proposes a new theory of judicial behavior in which judges
strategically pursue multiple goals, but their personality traits
determine the relative importance of those goals. This theory is
tested by analyzing the behavior of justices who served on the US
Supreme Court between 1946 and 2015. Using recent advances in
text-based personality measurement, Hall evaluates the influence of
the 'big five' personality traits on the justices' behavior during
each stage of the Court's decision-making process. What Justices
Want shows that personality traits directly affect the justices'
choices and moderate the influence of goal-related situational
factors on justices' behavior.
