- Ideally, judges’ decisions should always be impartial, rational and unbiased. After all, ‘Lady Justice’ wears a blindfold and carefully balances the scales of justice. However, remarkable recent research from behavioural science and social psychology is beginning to show why ‘Lady Justice’ (and all she stands for) is not quite what she seems. Judging is a tricky and very human business. In this talk, Dr Brian Barry tells us about research that ‘judges the judges’ showing some unnerving results: psychological errors, biases, poor numerical reasoning, and excessive emotion may all have a bearing on judicial outcomes.
Brian is a lecturer in law and a researcher in judicial systems and judicial decision-making. His research investigates how factors, other than law, affect judges when they make decisions. He is currently writing a book called How Judges Judge: Insights into judicial decision-making that assimilates and analyses global research on the psychological, institutional and political forces that can impact judicial decision-making and judicial behaviour.
Brian lectures at Dublin Institute of Technology which will become Technological University Dublin on 01 January 2019. He has a law degree and a PhD from the School of Law, Trinity College Dublin and is a qualified solicitor. He has undertaken research programmes as a visiting scholar at Columbia University, New York and the University of Toronto and is widely published in academic journals and in the media on judges and dispute resolution systems.

4:20 The more concerning issue here is that even without the inadmissible evidence the ruling was split 50/50. Speaks tons about the reliability of the system. I don't think anybody wants their next years be decided by a coin toss.
Makes me sick
Why you think so many innocent ppl are freed after doing decades in jail.
Why do many men and children are burdened in Juvenile and Domestic courts?
Judges will only follow the law and do what's right when you force them too. It's no penalty for breaking the rules. The burden is on the innocent people until the win in appeal, while nothing happens to the judge
Funny ? 8:43
Awkward to put it mildly.

Well presented but some of the arguments are simply not true. I agree that there is a bias against a minority group, but not in the way that was presented. It's ridiculous to assume a judge would think that way.
Judges don't think like that, but that's the whole point of subconscious bias - it is subconscious. You need some sort of counter-evidence before you dismiss the results of a study out of hand because you believe it's "simply not true"
How do you know it's not true? That simple statement you made in with that type of mindset that you can actually say something is not true without evidence, meanwhile evidence is being presented that it is true. But you still came to the conclusion of it not being true. Thank you for a clear evidence of how bias humans are and I hope you make no decision in any serious matters
The numbers argument, the racial argument and generally most of what was said I agree with it. This was 1+ years ago though. I really only have a problem with the inadmissible evidence argument. We do not know the extent of the relationship or the value of the argument that was presented to the judges on the inadmissible evidence argument.
On a separate note, you should know better than to judge a person's character and personal bias over a single sentence.
Dude joke was not funny
Judges are relics of the past.
Northside is better than the Southside 😂😂😂
