The Art Craft and Science Of Judging Prof. Dr. Aruna Broota Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist
Who is a judge • A person with law as his background and has qualified the examination for judiciary. • Is it? • What else? • (Who am I?)
Personality of a Judge • Beliefs and Superstitions • Attitudes eg attitudes towards life, marriage, regions, etc. (A cognitive structure towards life world, towards things frompast experiences and learning) • Beliefs are not verifiable eg belief in God, soul, life after death. Beliefs are strong and not verifiable. • Attitudes are verifiable • From attitudes we develop stereotypes
Beliefs, attitudes and values predispose an individual to act in a particular way. • So are your judgements based on perceptions which are already governed by beliefs, values etc. Only then your interpretation of law begins to operate .
