Summary:	This lecture discusses how applying the empirical methods used in law and economics, a pattern has been discovered that explains some judicial behavior and decisions. Judges are seen as relatively rational decision-makers with relatively static preferences as seen in their decisions and opinions. Influences on their behavior include the "panel effect," the judge's political ideology, as opposed to a simple application of the law.
