Professional Emotions in Court examines the paramount role of
emotions in the legal professions and in the functioning of the
democratic judicial system. Based on extensive interview and
observation data in Sweden, the authors highlight the silenced
background emotions and the tacitly habituated emotion management
in the daily work at courts and prosecution offices. Following
participants 'backstage' - whether at the office or at lunch - in
order to observe preparations for and reflections on the
performance in court itself, this book sheds light on the
emotionality of courtroom interactions, such as professional
collaboration, negotiations, and challenges, with the analysis of
micro-interactions being situated in the broader structural regime
of the legal system - the emotive-cognitive judicial frame -
throughout. A demonstration of the false dichotomy between emotion
and reason that lies behind the assumption of a judicial system
that operates rationally and without emotion, Professional Emotions
in Court reveals how this assumption shapes professionals'
perceptions and performance of their work, but hampers emotional
reflexivity, and questions whether the judicial system might gain
in legitimacy if the role of emotional processes were recognized
and reflected upon.
