This researcher's work centers on courts and judicial decision-making, particularly examining how institutional features, group dynamics, and case characteristics affect how quickly courts resolve cases, drawing largely on studies of Norwegian courts including the Norwegian Supreme Court. Earlier work also touched on political science topics like party elite policy preferences, alongside some unrelated publications on cannabis use in neurological disease and museum exhibition design.
