Examining Judicial Decision-making: An Axiological Analytical Tool

Summary/Abstract: One thing that is characteristic of the judicial decision-making process regardless of the structure of the judiciary in a particular country or region is that the judge is responsible for making a decision that is both consistent with the law and is such that the people will follow it.
