The panel "Quantifying Judicial Impact: Selection, Process, and Authority" is chaired by @benjaminengst.bsky.social and @louisabo.bsky.social and welcomes quantitative analysis of judicial appointments, decisions-making and more!

Panel 1 Quantifying Judicial Impact: Selection, Process, and Authority (Chairs: Benjamin Engst and Louisa Boulaziz)
This panel addresses critical questions on judicial power and legitimacy: Why are some individuals appointed to the bench while others are not? To what extent do judicial procedures influence judicial outcomes? Why is judicial authority often overwhelmingly perceived as legitimate? We invite papers that examine these topics quantitatively and comparatively. Addressing these issues is essential to understanding the often unquestioned acceptance of judicial decisions and court’s societal influence.
