Vanderbilt University Profile

Maroney will work on a book examining the role of emotion in judges’ experiences, behaviors, and decision making. She will analyze in-depth interviews and survey data to better understand the ways in which emotions and management of emotions interact with the constraints and demands of various judicial roles.

I've been investigating the relationship between law and emotion, which sounds strange to a lot of people, because the traditional Western legal ideal is that law and emotion should have nothing to do with one another.
