Funded Activity Summary

Changing Judicial Performance: Emotion and Legitimacy. This project examines emotion and emotional expression in judicial performance. Although judging is understood as unemotional, changing norms demand judicial emotional awareness and impose greater scrutiny of in-court judicial behaviour, creating practical tension for the judiciary and conceptual tension in understanding judging. Using surveys, interviews and observations of the Australian judiciary, and judicial performance evaluation data from the United States of America, this research examines whether judicial emotion and emotional display enhance or detract from judicial performance, considering impartiality and legitimacy of judicial authority. It aims to generate substantial new knowledge about judicial decision making and judicial behaviour.
