Several existing pen and paper tests to measure implicit bias have been found to have discrepancies. This could be largely due to the fact that the subjects are aware of the implicit bias tests and they consciously choose to change their answers. Hence, we've leveraged machine learning techniques to detect bias in the judicial context by examining the oral arguments. The adverse implications due to the presence of implicit bias in judiciary decisions could have far-reaching consequences. This study aims to check if the vocal intonations of the Justices and lawyers at the Supreme Court of the United States could act as an indicator for predicting the case outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
