Two tiers of judicial officers
In this article I reflect on the conception, methodology and findings of a study of judicial officers’ psychological wellbeing undertaken by a team comprised of two psychology and two law researchers. I am one of the lawyers.

Law, and I …

As a multidisciplinary tea…

This situation existed notwithstanding women’s equality of political franchise through the vote and despite judicial references to the …

Therapeutic and legal methodologies address credibility assessment in crucially different ways. These differences can generate mistrust and antipathy between refugee decision-makers and mental health professionals whose expert assessment reports are offered to assist decision-making. The anthropologist Good, quoted above, provides a graphic expression of one aspect of this discipline rift, highlighting the contrast of focus between the decision-m…
