7 Dothan defines these types of behaviour as ‘(1) legalist models – judges try to implement the law itself in their judgments. (2) attitudinal models – judges decide sincerely based on their policy preferences. (3) strategic model judges try to promote their preferences strategically, taking into account the possible reactions of other actors’: supra note 5, at 63.
8 The ‘bandwidth hypothesis’ refers to a ‘network [resembling] a pipe through which information is transmitted, the denser the network, the wider the pipe and the more accurate information becomes’ whereas the ‘echo hypothesis’ argues that ‘information flow within a dense network is not enhanced but rather corrupted’: S.
