One of the critical factors that significantly impact on decision-making process through the collegial contact between judges is laws and facts. Notably, judges have the obligation of ensuring that they apply proper reasoning in line with the established laws and facts when they determine various cases. Other factors that have the capacity of influencing the manner in which judges make the decision include the political, social and psychological matters. Some cases have a lot of specific social or political interest and significance, and therefore, judges must balance such issues when making their determination. Even so, extraneous factors also can sway the critical ruling that is produced by the judges (Hastie " Dawes, 2010). Matters such as making repeated judgments are closely related to extraneous factors. Sometimes, mental challenges can subject the judge into accepting the status quo (review) without proper evaluation of the case before the court.
The judicial hierarchy and principal theories
play an important role when it comes to influencing the outcome of the case for appeal. The main differences between the two approaches are that principal method agents note that there is the significant legal implication that a court should obey. In any case, the practicality of the matter is on the legal framework before the court. Conversely, judicial hierarchy viewpoint focuses on the actual legal layout that is found in the constitution (Hastie " Dawes, 2010). The main similarity between the two models is that they both have strong legal reasoning that is capable of influencing the outcome of the case at the appeal level. The theory such as principal agent, for instance, compares both current and past court cases.
In conclusion, the two theories are all significant in enhancing the possibility that an appeal would be successful. In both cases, the models help in supporting evidence that relates to either the constitution or court determination that had been made in the past but correspond the issue before the court. Judges should be able to apply the two frameworks when handling various court cases.
