Automating the qualitative interview? Using Gen AI chatbots in social science research
Generative Artificial Intelligence methods using large language models can rapidly generate and process text, fuelling interest in qualitative research applications. To explore these possibilities, we developed a chatbot to interview social scientists at a Swedish university ( n = 74) and then conducted follow-up email exchanges about their experiences ( n = 23). This article presents an empirical example of a Gen AI–mediated qualitative intervie…
Virtual Justice Rituals
This paper explores the sociological impact of transitioning justice rituals in physical criminal courtrooms to virtual justice rituals. Traditionally, criminal courtroom rituals – often associated with formal architecture, dress codes, and ceremonial symbols but also including fuzzier aspects such as sensorial experiences and atmospheres – are understood as reinforcing authority, fairness, and legitimacy. In virtual settings, however, these sign…
Emotion in the Digital Age
Live blogs can’t handle the truth? A contemporary cross-cultural consideration of transparency and procedural justice
Reporting from trials using live blogs to continuously inform readers about courtroom events have rapidly become an established part of legal life and are often assumed to fulfill demands of open justice. However, a deep sociolegal understanding of how legal professionals perceive live blogs as affecting procedural justice is currently missing, as is a thick understanding of what transparency means to legal professionals. As more detailed knowled…
The emotional challenges of working-life digitalisation
Constructing clickable criminal trials
Journalistic live blogging entails the conundrum of capturing emotions in a context where they should be absent, snapping up the sensational in the subtle drama of the courtroom and presenting it in a way that attracts readers, thus making it clickable. Applying an inductive frame analysis of live blogs and drawing on criteria of newsworthiness and an emotion sociological framework, this article shows two frames of understanding criminal trials a…
Rumbling Stomachs and Silent Crying
The criminal trial as a live event
Live blogging from legal trials has become one of the most accessible ways in which the public can gain direct insight into legal proceedings, particularly in countries where television cameras are denied entry into the courtroom. Whilst live blogging constitutes an important way of ensuring the transparency and openness of legal processes and documents – a principle known as open justice and a key component of many democratic societies – the ris…
Interactional justice the role of emotions in the performance of loyalty
"Interactional Justice explores the accomplishment of loyalty by focusing on defence lawyers' work in the emotionally and interactionally constraining situation of the criminal trial. By drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldnotes and interviews with lawyers, this sociological study brings their loyalty work to life and reveals to the reader the unwritten rules of emotional interactions. It presents how defence lawyers socially construct their d…
Emotional Defence Lawyers
The emotions of defence lawyers have garnered little sociological attention. This is surprising, as their role requires them to show loyalty to clients, representing them in court irrespective of the client or the crime. Theirs is thus an emotionally demanding role, requiring the management of inappropriate emotions. This essay explores this by showing that justice systems have structurally embedded emotional regimes guiding emotional performance…

The courtroom work of defense lawyers has received surprisingly little sociological attention. What does a defense lawyer actually do in court? How do defense lawyers represent their client beyond the hard paragraphs of the law? By studying this phenomenon in a context where the scope for expressive gestures is limited, it is possible to gain a greater understanding into the often subtle ways in which legal teamwork is performed. This article dra…
