Description

Philips looks at the languages of judges in the courtroom to show that, while judges see themselves as impartial agents of the constitutional right to due process, there is actually much diversity in the way that judges interract with defendants due to their interpretations of the law, their attitudes toward courtroom control, and their own political-ideological stances regarding due process.

She uses courtroom transcripts, interviews, and the written law itself to show how ideological diversity is organized in legal discourse.
