The Price of Appearing Unruffled: Judicial Well-being, Institutional Integrity and the Quality of Justice

Thematic brief: July 2026 | Hon. Rangajeeva Wimalasena, Judge of the National and Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea, Adjunct Professor, Australian Catholic University

Eventually, it may also be paid by the justice system through diminished concentration, delayed decisions, reduced institutional trust, the loss of experienced judicial officers and most importantly, compromised integrity and quality of justice.”
