Abstract

To effectively run a courtroom, the judge needs to be in charge. Perhaps because of that, judges are classically viewed as leaders. That view, in turn, frequently places judges in leadership for various outside-of-the-courtroom endeavors, both within and outside of the court system. But the best leadership styles for these various settings can be quite different. Judicial leadership that works well in running a courtroom may fail miserably outside of the courtroom. That is true in off-the-bench efforts both inside and outside of the court system.
