Replication Data for: "The Ideal Justice: Who Are Selected to Serve and What Does It Say About Swedish High Courts?"

This dataset contains data and scripts neccesary to replicate the study contained in our paper 'The Ideal Justice:: Who Are Selected to Serve and What Does It Say About Swedish High Courts?'. The underlying data is split between two files. The first one, 'judges_info', contains information about on which high court all 453 Swedish Justices (1789–2021) served and the decade when they were first appointed to a high court. The second one, 'judges_seq', contains those Justices' professional legal background leading up to the first appointment represented as sequences of a length of 100 % where each state represents 1 % of the total time. Each of these files are inlcuded in two file formats, as RData-files for easy use in R and as csv-files for non-R software. The respository also includes a copy of the R-script used to conduct the sequence analysis and produce the figures included in the paper.
