- Title
Using a Narrative Lens to Understand Empathy and How it Matters in Judging.
- Authors
McArdle, Andrea
- Abstract
The article discusses the role of empathy in judicial decisionmaking. It explores the cognitive, emotional, and multidimensional aspects of empathy, considering social identity and personal experience. It also examines an approach for the analysis of the absence or existence of judicial empathy informed through lawyering and narrative theory. Meanwhile, it suggests that empathy’s understandings demonstrate a more complicated phenomenon which encompasses cognitive capacity and emotional identification.
