The Psychology of Judicial Decision Making - American Psychology-Law Society Series
David E Klein
Over the years, psychologists have devoted uncountable hours to learning how human beings make judgments and decisions. As much progress as scholars have made in explaining what judges do over the past few decades, there remains a certain lack of depth to our understanding. Even where scholars can make consensual and successful predictions of a judge's behavior, they will often disagree sharply about exactly what happens in the judge's mind to generate thepredicted result. This volume of essays examines the psychological processes that underlie judicial decision making.
