dc.description.abstract | We argue that a model of judicial behavior that accounts for differences in justices’
ability and ideology provides a fruitful alternative for the empirical analysis of judicial
decision-making around the world, and illustrate this by focusing on the case of the
UK. We show that the model explains the decisions of the Lords of Appeal remarkably
well, and improves the fit of a purely ideological model. We use our estimates to tackle
previously unaddressed questions about the relative role of justices’ preferences and
ability in the Appellate Committee. | en_GB |
