Limits on Judges Learning, Speaking and Acting-Part I-Tentative First Thoughts: How May Judges Learn?

Abstract

In this essay the author suggests that judges should be encouraged to learn as much about the world as possible so that their decisions are sound in view of changing scientific and social factors. The parties should be aware of what the judge knows if that knowledge may affect a decision in a particular case. Sensibilities of the public may need to be considered in limiting settings and techniques for acquiring knowledge.
