WASHINGTON — If you have to face a judge, try for first thing in the morning or right after lunch. A new study suggests that’s when they’re most lenient. Researchers studied 1,112 rulings by Israeli judges who were presiding over boards deciding whether to grant parole to prisoners. “We find that the likelihood of a favorable ruling is greater at the very beginning of the work day or after a food break than later in the sequence of cases,” the researchers report in today’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
