Judges and decision making

'Without suggesting that the job of judges is just a matter of quick guesswork and routine, gilded with pomp and ceremony, I would like to state that judicial decision making is comparable to other kinds of open problem solving such as the grading of works of art by a viewing committee or the marking of an essay by a teacher. If sentencing is difficult, it is because of its uncertainty, not because of its complexity' (...). ' There is no reason to assume that judges and prosecutors are a complex subdivision of the human race deserving a theory of their own'
