ABSTRACT

As everyone knows, it is indispensable to adequate thinking that the thinker should be able to keep his mind in suspense. Reflective thinking necessitates inquiry into the Tightness of established habits, interruption of routine, selection of alternatives, detection of ambiguities, choice of roads at the crossways.[1]

Now reflective thinking is what we want of our judges. If the judging process is to be well conducted, then our judges should know what are the obstacles to reflective thinking and the causes of these obstacles.
