TASA's Travelling Scholar Lecture: Judicial Work & Emotion
Join us for TASA's Travelling Scholar Lecture:
'Judicial Work & Emotion' which will be presented by Sharyn Roach Anleu on Wednesday 19 July 2023.
The growing field of law and emotion examines the presence and absence of emotion throughout law and legal work. Judicial authority is based on impartiality. Judicial officers are expected to be impersonal, emotionless, and detached in their courtroom work and decision making.
However, emotion is embedded in the everyday work of judges, magistrates and their courts. Judicial officers undertake emotion work to regulate their own feelings and display, shaped by the legal framework and feeling rules. They may also need to manage the emotions of others, especially in court. Emotion can be a valuable resource to enable fair treatment and impartial judging.
