Demeanor in Court

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

Abstract

The demeanors magistrates display must meet the normative demands of the judicial role within the practical constraints of long case lists, considerable time pressure, and unrepresented parties. The research findings confirm the practical and conceptual importance of judicial demeanor and reveal a wide range of judicial demeanors as part of legitimate judicial performance.1 Some demeanors entail detachment as communicating impartiality, which may maximize formal institutional legitimacy, while others appear to value engagement, which supports more relational concepts of legitimacy.
