The Nature of the Judicial Process (book)

"The Nature of the Judicial Process" by Benjamin N. Cardozo explores how judges make decisions, emphasizing that their judgments are often influenced by personal experiences, societal needs, and moral considerations, rather than strict application of legal rules alone. The book highlights that justice is a balancing act, shaped by human understanding and the circumstances of each case. Cardozo argues that judges must interpret laws wisely, recognizing that their rulings affect society and must reflect fairness, empathy, and practical wisdom. It underscores that judicial decision-making is a nuanced, context-dependent process rooted in human judgment.
