University of Richmond
Appellate Judges And Philosophical Theories: Judicial Philosophy Or Mere Coincidence, Gerald R. Ferrer, Mystica Alexander
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
This paper suggests that judicial opinions often reflect ajudge's position on what is ethical and useful in the real world of constitutional values.

Do judges' opinions parallel philosophical theories constructed by philosophers or is any apparent relationship mere coincidence? This paper suggests the former-that a judge's belief system, education, and experiences 2 include the adoption of judicial philosophies, the expression of which can be found in his or her written opinions.
