Judicial performance and emotion<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n
\n

Until recently questions of emotions \u2013 subjective judicial emotional experiences, emotional display, emotional performance, and emotion work \u2013 were not part of discussion about or research on the judiciary.\u00a0 Conventional understandings of the judicial role emphasise impersonality and dispassion as central to impartiality and legal authority. \u00a0Emotions have been viewed as inherently irrational, disorderly, impulsive and personal and therefore as inconsistent with the legitimate exercise of judicial authority.<\/p>\n

However, judicial emotion, including stress and work satisfaction, has been identified as a key theme from the beginning of the Projects. Research to date suggests that complying with essential judicial norms such as impartiality, often depends on successful emotion management. These developments potentially raise deep questions about the proper role of a judicial officer.<\/p>\n

This phase of Project research considers the formal rules and informal norms governing emotion in the performance of the judicial role, examines the kinds of emotions and emotion-related behaviour observed in court and investigates how judicial officers themselves experience and understand the role of emotions in their work.<\/p>\n

This research has been undertaken in collaboration with Dr. Jennifer Elek and Dr. David Rottman of the National Center for State Courts in the USA<\/a>\u00a0and will draw on USA materials on judicial performance evaluation and discipline, as one of several strategies to explore emotion in judging.<\/p>\n
