Though there are drawbacks when relying on “norms” to make judicial decisions, the positives have appeared to outweigh the negatives. Delgado argues that the use of “norms” allows the morality of the times cloud what is supposed to be an impartial decision made by a judge. If in fact this argument holds water, many would be alienated by the decisions made by these judges who employ this way of thinking. It is my argument that these very “norms” aid in swaying the judges who employ them into making decisions that are beneficial to both society and the legal system.
