Abstract
Truth, in either one or both of its forms - accuracy and coherence - is widely considered a major aim of adjudication. In legal scholarship, institutional settings are therefore often evaluated, compared, and sometimes reformed on the basis of whether they help and compel adjudicators to reach truthful decisions. These evaluations and reforms have often been informed by studies in judgment and decision-making (JDM) and with the relatively recent rise of behavioral law and economics, this trend is growing at a fast pace.
