Emotions in Law

Emotions in law refer to the influence of feelings on legal decisions and processes. While the law aims for objectivity, emotions can impact how people interpret cases, behave in court, or seek justice. For example, compassion may motivate leniency, or anger might lead to harsher judgments. Recognizing emotions helps legal professionals manage their responses and ensure fair, balanced outcomes. However, the law strives to base judgments on facts and principles, not personal feelings, to maintain fairness and objectivity in judicial proceedings.
