“A variety of contextual frames of reference have been employed by commentators to explain and clarify the basis for judicial decision-making, the most fundamental aspect of the judge’s job. These range from exploration of the judge’s personality to the employment of small group theory, game theory and Guttman scaling to measure and apprehend the nature of judicial decision-making. Indeed, the disciplined effort to identify with mathematical precision the decision process has been dubiously termed ‘jurimetrics.’ ” Alexander B. Smith & Abraham S. Blumberg, “The Problem of Objectivity,” in 2 Crime and Justice 485–86 (1971).
