Description

How does the law determine if a publication is defamatory? While common law relies on the response of 'ordinary reasonable people,' this book explores how that standard works in real-world practice. It investigates the actual thoughts and perceptions of the individuals who define these legal boundaries. This work examines the psychology used by judges, juries, and lawyers when making decisions about defamation. By looking at the mental processes behind legal conclusions, readers gain a deeper understanding of how legal standards meet social reality. The content is built on a foundation of thorough case law examination and extensive empirical research. The study includes data from surveys involving over 4,000 members of the general public, alongside direct interviews with judges and legal practitioners. Additionally, focus groups representing various sections of the community provide insight into how different groups perceive defamatory content. This makes it a valuable resource for understanding the connection between legal theory and public attitude.
