About
The growing field of law and emotion examines emotion's presence (and absence) throughout law and legal work.
Impartiality is a foundational value, and judicial officers are expected to be impersonal, emotionless, and detached in their courtroom work and decision-making.
My socio-legal research that uses various methods demonstrates how emotion is embedded in the everyday work of judges, magistrates, and their courts. Judicial officers undertake emotion work to regulate their feelings and display, shaped by the legal framework and feeling rules. They may also need to manage the emotions of others, especially in court.
A socio-legal approach shows how emotion can be a valuable resource to enable fair treatment rather than undermining impartial judging.
