Implication

Vignette experiment shows judges' decisions in proportionality analysis are affected by framing, suggesting legal expertise mitigates cognitive biases.

Key Points

Judges exhibit limited framing effect susceptibility in proportionality analysis, indicating strong legal training influence.
Cognitive biases influence judicial decision-making outside of proportionality analysis, suggesting areas for further scrutiny.
Experimental results highlight the importance of legal expertise in providing resilience against framing effects.
Findings contrast the global application of proportionality analysis with specific constitutional review processes, notably in the U.S.
