Abstract
Legal ethics is fast becoming a crucial field of legal research even in continental Europe (eg. Sobek 2019). There is a growing body of literature that recognizes the importance of key legal concepts of legal ethics (eg. Phillips 2016). However, many of these concepts are also vague legal terms. As such, they are usually interpreted and applied theoretically. Yet, for example, the content of the term „dignified judge“ is necessarily determined by the social consensus on what is considered „dignified“ so we need to know this consensus to apply the term correctly. In our long-term project, we have chosen to explore legal concepts by methods of studying their social representations. In this part of our project, we use hierarchical evocation (Abric, 2005) for studying the legal concept of „dignified judge“. This method is a simple production task with a free-association basis. In our research, we collected answers from legal professionals with an emphasis on the judiciary. Results of our research showed that a concept of a dignified judge in the Czech Republic consists of several archetypes. These archetypes can be best demonstrated and explained in the example of Judge Dee (van Gulik). It shows that this particular concept is very similar even in very different cultural backgrounds and even both in art and legal academia.
