| الوصف: | The article examines epistemic emotions as part of the emotive-cognitive processes of prosecutors' knowledge seeking and decision making in preliminary investigation and court proceedings. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and shadowing of prosecutors in Sweden, we show how emotions motivate and orient prosecutors' inquiries and the fundamental role of the 'certainty-doubt spiral' for 'doing objectivity'. In conclusion, we discuss the centrality of emotions for conscientious and well-considered decisions in legal work. The study contributes to the field of law and emotion by exploring the epistemic quality of emotions, notably the certainty-doubt spiral, in legal work. |
