Discourse & Society, 2015, 26(3), 349–365Summary: This study examined judges’ constructions of the ‘best interests of the child’ in child custody and
access arraignments where there were allegations of domestic violence within the context of
an interview. Using interviews with six Irish District Court judges, a micro-structural discourse
analysis enabled the identification of socio-cultural discourses, scientific knowledge and judges’
own values and beliefs biases about custody arraignments in cases of domestic violence. (from the abstract). Record #4643
