rofessional
Emotions in Court examines the paramount role of emotions in the legal professions
and in the functioning of the democratic judicial system. Based on extensive
interview and observation data in Sweden, the authors highlight the silenced
background emotions and the tacitly habituated emotion management in the daily
work at courts and prosecution offices. Following participants ‘backstage’ –
whether at the office or at lunch – in order to observe preparations for and
reflections on the performance in court itself, this book sheds light on the
emotionality of courtroom interactions, such as professional collaboration,
negotiations, and challenges, with the analysis of micro-interactions being
situated in the broader structural regime of the legal system – the
emotive-cognitive judicial frame – throughout.
A demonstration of the false dichotomy between emotion
and reason that lies behind the assumption of a judicial system that operates
rationally and without emotion, Professional
Emotions in Court reveals how this assumption shapes professionals’
perceptions and performance of their work, but hampers emotional reflexivity,
and questions whether the judicial system might gain in legitimacy if the role
of emotional processes were recognized and reflected upon.
