Judicial authority is constituted by everyday practices of
individual judicial officers, balancing the obligations of formal
law and procedure with the distinctive interactional demands of
lower courts. Performing Judicial Authority in the Lower Courts
draws on extensive original, independent empirical data to identify
different ways judicial officers approach and experience their
work. It theorizes the meanings of these variations for the
legitimate performance of judicial authority. The central
theoretical and empirical finding presented in this book is the
incomplete fit between conventional norms of judicial performance,
emphasizing detachment and impersonality, and the practical,
day-to-day judicial work in high volume, time-pressured lower
courts. Understanding the judicial officer as the crucial link
between formal abstract law, the legal institution of the court and
the practical tasks of the courtroom, generates a more complete
theory of judicial legitimacy which includes the manner in which
judicial officers present themselves and communicate their
decisions in court.
