The Judges Panel: How Minds are Changed in Judicial Deliberation

Description

Judges on the U.S. Courts of Appeals will answer questions about the deliberation process, with a focus on how and when they change their mind.  Does oral argument matter? Is a changed mind more likely before or after drafting an opinion?  Do norms affect the deliberation process?  The goal of this conversation will be to pull back the curtain on the third branch of government to get a sense of how decisions are reached.
