In response to The National Judicial College’s Question of the Month (n=831) in April 2018, almost 45% of judges reported that civility was declining in their courtrooms. A content analysis of judges’ comments revealed that judges experience a broad range of incivility including uncivil behavior, speech, and self-presentation. Similarly, the sources of incivility appear to come from a variety of individuals including members of the public, defendants/plaintiffs, self-represented litigants, attorneys, and other judges. These findings shed light on potential causes of incivility and can help legal practitioners and psychologists determine “best practices” for managing courtroom-specific workplace incivility.

文明死了吗？法官对法庭不文明行为的看法

在回答 2018 年 4 月国家司法学院的月度问题 (n=831) 时，近 45% 的法官报告说他们的法庭上的文明程度正在下降。对法官评论的内容分析表明，法官经历了广泛的不文明行为，包括不文明行为、言论和自我介绍。同样，不文明行为的来源似乎来自各种各样的个人，包括公众、被告/原告、自我辩护的诉讼当事人、律师和其他法官。这些发现揭示了不文明行为的潜在原因，可以帮助法律从业者和心理学家确定管理特定法庭工作场所不文明行为的“最佳实践”。
