Transcripts of the evidence of 120 CSA complainants were analysed according to the frequency and nature of interventions, such as raising issues with the question form, question manner, question content, complainant care, legal procedure or rules. Judges most commonly intervened during cross-examination and to a lesser extent during evidence-in-chief. There was no evidence that judges and prosecutors intervened more frequently with children than with adults. The most common basis for intervention was the question form, but the number of interventions was very low considering the prevalence of complex questions asked by the defence. Less than 1% of the interventions were based on question content.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anzlaw.thomsonreuters.com\/Document\/I3a831bc0541511ec82b081a876ee847c\/View\/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)&amp;VR=3.0&amp;RS=cblt1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/wlau\/ext\/app\/document?docguid=Ia58dc91e53ed11ec831a9b63d4a99eb9&amp;tocDs=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC&amp;isTocNav=true&amp;startChunk=1&amp;endChunk=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Development of a Measurement Tool for Courtroom Legal Actor Contributions: A Delphi Study Consulting the Experts<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Rhondda Waterworth<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This article describes the development of a qualitative measurement tool \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the Legal Actor Contributions Scale (LACS) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c designed to measure legal actor contributions (primarily magistrates) in courtroom interactions from a therapeutic perspective. The measure was refined using a Delphi study to collect advice from research participants who are experts in the field of therapeutic change and magistrates\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 therapeutic contributions (court craft). Despite adverse research conditions, the LACS measure was successfully developed into a refined form, presented in the article. This measurement scale will be useful for therapeutic and problem-solving court outcomes research, for magistrate court craft self-development, and in mainstreaming the therapeutic jurisprudence movement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anzlaw.thomsonreuters.com\/Document\/I3a831bc1541511ec82b081a876ee847c\/View\/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)&amp;VR=3.0&amp;RS=cblt1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/wlau\/ext\/app\/document?docguid=Ia58dc91353ed11ec831a9b63d4a99eb9&amp;tocDs=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC&amp;isTocNav=true&amp;startChunk=1&amp;endChunk=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What Is the Court to Do with All of This Data?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Empirical Evidence, COVID-19 and the Law<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Scott Currie<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The COVID-19 pandemic continues to test Commonwealth legal systems around the globe. It is a crisis that requires empirically grounded solutions. The cases born from governments\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 pandemic measures emphasise the courts\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 general reticence and shortcomings when issues involve technical considerations. These include: a lack of structure for considering empirical matters; limited avenues for empirical engagement beyond expert witnesses; narrow use of judicial notice; and continued reluctance to develop competencies in the natural or social sciences. This article considers how COVID-19-related cases illustrate these concerns, as well as prior cases outside a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153crisis\u00e2\u20ac\u009d context. Solutions are also proposed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anzlaw.thomsonreuters.com\/Document\/I3a831bc4541511ec82b081a876ee847c\/View\/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)&amp;VR=3.0&amp;RS=cblt1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this article on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westlaw.com.au\/maf\/wlau\/ext\/app\/document?docguid=Ia58dc91453ed11ec831a9b63d4a99eb9&amp;tocDs=AUNZ_AU_JOURNALS_TOC&amp;isTocNav=true&amp;startChunk=1&amp;endChunk=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BOOK REVIEW<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Judge, the Judiciary and the Court: Individual, Collegial and Judicial Dynamics in Australia, edited by Gabrielle Appleby and Andrew Lynch <\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c <em>Reviewed by Dr Andrew Cannon AM<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anzlaw.thomsonreuters.com\/Document\/I3a831bc5541511ec82b081a876ee847c\/View\/FullText.html?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=(sc.Default)&amp;VR=3.0&amp;RS=cblt1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access on New Westlaw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the PDF\u00c2\u00a0version of the table of contents, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/files\/2021\/12\/Westlaw-AU-\u00e2\u20ac\u201c-JJA-Vol-31-No-1-Contents.pdf\">Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c JJA Vol 31 No 1 Contents<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0or here: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/files\/2021\/12\/New-Westlaw-AU-\u00e2\u20ac\u201c-JJA-Vol-31-No-1-Contents.pdf\">New Westlaw AU \u00e2\u20ac\u201c JJA Vol 31 No 1 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3rTxsg4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this Part on Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tmsnrt.rs\/3pMVF50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this Part on New Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For general queries, please contact: <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Part of the Journal of Judicial Administration includes the following articles: &#8220;Judicial and Lawyer Interventions in Trials of Child Sexual Assault&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Natalie Martschuk, Martine B Powell, Jane Goodman-Delahunty, Simone Thackray and Nina Westera; &#8220;Development of a Measurement Tool for Courtroom Legal Actor Contributions: A Delphi Study Consulting the Experts&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Rhondda Waterworth; and &#8220;&#8216;What Is the Court to Do with All of This Data?&#8217; Empirical Evidence, COVID-19 and the Law&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Scott Currie.
