This book discusses how judges qualify their activities as objective. The data for this project
was retrieved from a large sample of cases using Langacker's methodology. The sample included
over a thousand decisions from Brazil Hungary Italy Lithuania Slovakia Slovenia Spain
Romania and the UK. The decisions considered allegations of judicial bias unfairness and
injustice. Pre-judices are shared cognitive methods that legal practitioners perceive as
necessary. The results of the study directly confirm Pierre Legrand's claims of pre-judices in
legal discourse and as corollary Jules L. Coleman and Brian Leiter's idea of modest
objectivity in law.
