“The United States judicial system is ostensibly built on laws and hard facts. But new research lends weight to the trope that ‘justice is what the judge ate for breakfast.’  A judge’s willingness to grant a prisoner parole wanes with time after a lunch or snack break, according to an observational study.  Researchers from Columbia University and Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel analyzed more than 1,000 parole decisions made during 50 days by eight experienced judges in Israel. The proportion of favorable rulings fell from about 65 percent to nearly zero during each session separated by the two food breaks, leaping back to 65 percent immediately after the breaks.”
