Unfortunately, the Facts of the Case Are Not the Only

Unfortunately, the facts of the case are not the only things that determine the outcome. The text notes that it is often the character or perceived character of both parties that influences the outcome of a case. Making it even more complex is the personal characteristics of the judge. Among the personal characteristics of the judge that appear to make the most impact are:

A) years on the bench and age.
B) age and religious persuasion.
C) political orientation and religion.
D) age and political orientation.
