Key funded projects

The roles resources and competencies of employee lay judges: a cross-national study of Germany, France and Great Britain About: The research analysed and compared lay judges in labour courts in three countries and was based on 167 interviews of employee and employer lay judges and professional judges. It found that the dominant influence on lay judges' reported perception of their role is the prevailing industrial relations system in each country, mediated by the labour court structure. German and British lay judges unambiguously expressed a commitment to impartiality, but in France, deliberations were sometimes reported as being akin to negotiations with employer and employee lay judges on different sides.
