Join us for TASA's Travelling Scholar Lecture:
'Judicial Work & Emotion: A Socio-legal Approach' which will be presented by Sharyn Roach Anleu on Thursday 26 October 2023.
The growing field of law and emotion examines the presence (and absence) of emotion 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.
Sharyn Roach Anleu's socio-legal research that uses a variety of methods demonstrates the ways 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. A socio-legal approach shows how emotion can be a valuable resource to enable fair treatment rather than undermining impartial judging.
