This is in the world of finance, but there is no reason why it shouldn’t apply to legal decision making.
We find that forecast accuracy declines over the course of a day as the number of forecasts the analyst has already issued increases. Also consistent with decision fatigue, we find that the more forecasts an analyst issues, the higher the likelihood the analyst resorts to more heuristic decisions by herding more closely with the consensus forecast, by self-herding (i.e., reissuing their own previous outstanding forecasts), and by issuing a rounded forecast
Perhaps more interesting is that the market abides.
Finally, we find that the stock market understands these effects and discounts for analyst decision fatigue.
