Judging and Emotion

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Judging and Emotion is a milestone in research that examines emotion in the practices of the judiciary ... It is a fitting testament to the pioneering research into the judiciary that Roach Anleu and Mack have undertaken over many years. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the interconnection between law, justice, the judiciary and emotions. It is an invaluable study of the skills and knowledge a good judge needs to have and to put to work in the courtroom." Leslie J. Moran, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK; from a review in Emotions and Society, 2022

"... Roach Anleu and Mack show how impartiality, as a process rather than a state, involves continuous emotion work to balance emotions..." Stina Bergman Blix, Uppsala University, Sweden; from a review in Journal of Law and Society (2021, vol. 48)

"Judging and Emotion: A Socio-Legal Analysis is not only a stunning empirical exploration of the everyday emotional landscape of the judiciary in the lower courts in Australia, but it is also a masterclass in doing empirical Socio-Legal research." Leslie J. Moran, School of Law, Birkbeck College University of London in Frontiers of Socio-Legal Studies.

"Drawing on research with Australian judicial officers, Roach Anleu and Mack investigate how judicial officers understand, experience, display, manage, and deploy emotions in their everyday work, and they challenge the conventional assumption that emotion is inherently unpredictable, stressful, or inconsistent with impartiality. They articulate a broader conception of emotion as a social practice emerging from interaction and argue that judicial officers undertake emotion work and use emotion as a resource to achieve impartiality."
