"Through a unique study of the decisions of Social Security judges, Linda G. Mills challenges the meaning of impartiality. Mills combines a detailed empirical study of the decision-making practices of judges with a sophisticated theoretical argument that exposes contemporary myths about judging. She finds that, in practice, bias is a consistent dimension of what is considered 'impartial' decision making." "A Penchant for Prejudice is a must-read for judges, as well as lawyers, administrators, and policymakers seeking to address the persistent problem of bias."--Jacket.
