Conclusion

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This book identifies ways judicial officers in lower courts approach judicial work and theorizes the meanings of these variations in performing judicial authority in light of different sources of legitimacy. The central theme is the incomplete fit between the abstract formal image of judicial authority and practical, day-to-day judicial work in high volume lower courts. In these courts, it is the judicial officer who must balance the obligations of formal law and procedure and the everyday interpersonal demands of the courtroom.
