  • Hitler’s Judges

    Open AccessWayne Geerling, Gary Β Magee et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2018Referencias: 33

    We examine the role of judicial policy preferences in influencing whether judges in Nazi Germany sentenced defendants charged with serious political offences to death. We find that judicial policy preferences, measured by the depth of the ideological commitment of the judge to the Nazi Party worldview, were an important determinant of whether judges imposed the death sentence. Judges more committed to the Nazi Party were more likely to impose the…

  • Barrister gender and litigant success in the High Court of Australia

    Russell Smyth, Vinod MishraARTICLEAustralian Journal of Political…2014Citada por: 4Referencias: 34

    We examine the relationship between gender of the barrister and appeal outcomes on the High Court of Australia. We find that an appellant represented in oral argument by a female barrister, opposed to a respondent represented in oral argument by a male barrister, is less likely to receive a High Court justice's vote. However, we also find that the appellant disadvantage of having a female barrister present oral argument is (partially) offset in t…
