Campaign Support, Conflicts of Interest, and Judicial Impartiality: Can the Legitimacy of Courts Be Rescued by Recusals? *
James L. Gibson,Sidney W. Souers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate citizen perceptions of the impartiality and legitimacy of state courts in the U.S. using an experimental vignette embedded within a representative sample of West Virginians to test hypotheses about several factors that might affect perceived judicial impartiality: campaign contributions and support; the size of such support; whether the judge accused of holding a conflict of interest withdraws from the case; and whether that judge’s vote was crucial to the outcome, and if so, whether the party providing the campaign support wins or loses the lawsuit.

Matching as Nonparametric Preprocessing for Reducing Model Dependence in Parametric Causal Inference
