- Title
THE EVOLUTION OF THE TRIAL JUDGE FROM COUNTING CASE DISPOSITIONS TO A COMMITMENT TO FAIRNESS.
- Authors
Burke, Kevin; Leben, Steve
- Abstract
The article discusses the growing trend in trial judges who are committed to enhancing procedural fairness in U.S. courts. The authors assert that this focus on fairness can improve both judicial performance and public satisfaction, while helping judges avoid preoccupation with judicial critics. They explain that judges need public support to thrive as an independent branch of government, since inaccurate public discourse about courts undermines public trust and confidence.
