Law And The Emotions: The Problems Of Affective Forecasting, Jeremy A. Blumenthal Apr 2005

Law And The Emotions: The Problems Of Affective Forecasting, Jeremy A. Blumenthal

Indiana Law Journal

Legal scholarship on "behavioralism" and the implications of cognitive biases for the law is flourishing. In parallel with the rise of such commentary, legal scholars have begun to discuss the role of the emotions in legal discourse. This discussion often addresses the "appropriateness" of various emotions for the substantive law, or attempts to model the place of the emotions in the law.
