Our empirical material consists of nine judgments from various courts of appeal in Sweden between the years 2018 and 2020. We used the theories of social constructivism and childhood sociology when we analyzed our empirical material. The results of the study show that “the best interest of the child” is presented in each legal case based on the social construction of what is considered “the best interest of the child”. Furthermore, the study found that children´s feelings and experiences are often expressed in the courtroom proceeding, but not to the extent that it should. (Less)
