L.A. Not So Confidential: The Premier Forensic Psychology Podcast

We take aim at yet another profession that we hold in high regard- judges in a court of law. We cover the Rule of Law in the US and the different types of courts where judges could hold a position on a bench. We look at the research of the personality makeup of judges and then cover some judges behaving badly and other ways judges can lose their jobs.
