In person icon Quantifying Judicial Impact: Selection, Process, and Authority

Abstract

This panel addresses critical questions on judicial power and legitimacy: Why are some individuals appointed to the bench while others are not? To what extent do judicial procedures influence judicial outcomes? Why is judicial authority often overwhelmingly perceived as legitimate? We invite papers that examine these topics quantitatively and comparatively. Addressing these issues is essential to understanding the often unquestioned acceptance of judicial decisions and court’s societal influence.
