ABSTRACT

This paper discusses how the several branches of psychology impinge on civil law processes such as the organisational culture of courts and justice, claimant and expert experience and experience of judges, barristers and lawyers. Recent publications illustrating the complex interface of psychology and law and how these two significant professional bodies of knowledge and practice interact are described. Key questions for the collaborative research into the psychology of justice are identified.
