A judge’s role is to make decisions. This book is about how
judges undertake this task. It is about forces on the judicial role
and their consequences, about empirical research from a variety of
academic disciplines that observes and verifies how factors can
affect how judges judge. On the one hand, judges decide by
interpreting and applying the law, but much more affects judicial
decision-making: psychological effects, group dynamics, numerical
reasoning, biases, court processes, influences from political and
other institutions, and technological advancement. All can have a
bearing on judicial outcomes. In How Judges Judge: Empirical
Insights into Judicial Decision-Making, Brian M. Barry explores how
these factors, beyond the law, affect judges in their role. Case
examples, judicial rulings, judges’ own self-reflections on their
role and accounts from legal history complement this analysis to
contextualise the research, make it more accessible and enrich the
reader’s understanding and appreciation of judicial
decision-making. Offering research-based insights into how judges
make the decisions that can impact daily life and societies around
the globe, this book will be of interest to practising and training
judges, litigation lawyers and those studying law and related
disciplines.
