Goran Dominioni

Biased Trials (eBook, PDF)

Insights from Behavioral Law and Economics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Goran Dominioni argues that research in behavioral economics, psychology, and neurosciences can offer novel insights on whether court decisions are accurate, non-discriminatory, and maximize social welfare. The author also shows that insights from these areas of research can help to improve trial outcomes if carefully applied to craft trial rules and practices. He covers central themes in behavioral law and economics, such as implicit racial biases, the fundamental attribution error, and gender-related biases.

Rezensionen

"'Biased Trials' will invariably draw the attention of those who take courtroom advocacy seriously, who teach advocacy, or are driven by concerns over disparate treatment. ... there is much of value in this work is only to begin to describe it. Biased Trials is a treasure trove of research and insight, if the reader is capable of ,parsing its sometimes stilted prose." (Advocacy & Evidence Resources, Temple University Beasley School of Law, March 8, 2021)
