This illuminating Research Handbook analyses the role that emotions
play, and ought to play, in legal reasoning and practice, rejecting
the simplistic distinction between reason and emotion.
International expert contributors take multidisciplinary
approaches, drawing on neuroscience, philosophy, literary theory,
psychology, history, and sociology to examine the role of a wide
range of emotions across a variety of legal contexts. Chapters
consider how the rich tapestry of human emotion impacts legal
actors, influences legal doctrine, and shapes the dynamics of legal
institutions. Moving beyond legal contexts traditionally considered
rife with emotion such as the criminal law and jury trials, the
Handbook explores how emotion relates to contracts, property,
bankruptcy, international law, and truth and reconciliation
commissions. It also reflects on the importance of research
methodologies, theories, and techniques for assessing the role of
emotion in the legal arena. Surveying the depth and complexity of
law and emotion across a panoply of legal actions, institutional
contexts, and legal doctrines, this Handbook will be critical
reading for academics and students of legal theory and legal
philosophy. Its detailed examination of emotions in the practice of
private, public, international, and criminal law will also be
beneficial for legal officials and practitioners.
