Review: "Do juries decide cases based on impermissible, or "lower hierarchy," emotions? Can judges be educated to recognize and train their compassion, hostility, revulsion, or fear toward various litigants or causes of action? Can emotion be barred from the legal arena?" "The Passions of Law is the first anthology to treat the role that emotions play, don't play, and ought to play in the practice and conception of law and justice."--BOOK JACKET.
