Book Synopsis Judicial Activism in Bangladesh by : Ridwanul Hoque
Download or read book Judicial Activism in Bangladesh written by Ridwanul Hoque and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the evolving global trend of judicial activism with particular reference to Bangladesh. It constructs judicial activism as a golden-mean adjudicative technology, standing between excessive judicial assertion and unacceptable judicial passivity that may leave injustices un-redressed. It argues that judicial balancing between over-activism and meek administration of justice should essentially be predicated upon domestic conditions, and the needs and fundamental public values of the judges’ respective society. Providing cross-jurisdictional empirical evidence, the study demonstrates that judicial activism, steered towards improving justice and grounded in one’s societal specificities, can be exercised in a morally and legally legitimate form and without rupturing the balance of powers among the state organs. This study has sought to displace the myth of judicial activism as constitutional transgression by “unelected” judges, arguing that judicial activism is quite different from excessivism. It is argued and shown that a particular judge or judiciary turns out to be activist when other public functionaries avoid or breach their constitutional responsibilities and thus generate injustice and inequality. The study treats judicial activism as the conscientious exposition of constitutional norms and enforcement of public duties of those in positions of power. The study assesses whether Bangladeshi judges have been striking the correct balance between over-activism and injudicious passivity. Broadly, the present book reveals judicial under-activism in Bangladesh and offers insights into causes for this. It is argued that the existing milieu of socio-political injustices and over-balance of constitutional powers in Bangladesh calls for increased judicial intervention and guidance, of course in a balanced and pragmatic manner, which is critical for good governance and social justice. “Writing about judicial activism easily gets shackled by fussy and pedestrian debates about what judges may or may not do as unelected agents of governance. The book . . . goes much beyond such reductionist pedestrianisation of law, for it courageously lifts the debate into the skies of global legal realism. The analysis perceptively addresses bottlenecks of justice, identifying shackles and mental blocks in our own minds against activising concerns for justice for the common citizen.” —Prof Werner Menski (Foreword)
Book Synopsis Judicial Activism in a Comparative Perspective by : Fabian Schusser
Download or read book Judicial Activism in a Comparative Perspective written by Fabian Schusser and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the phenomenon of judicial activism from a comparative perspective by examining the highest constitutional courts in India and Germany: the Supreme Court and the Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal Constitutional Court) respectively. In addition to answering the question of what role these courts play in their countries' political institutional set-ups, the study explains to what extent they can be classed as powerful. Historical neo-institutionalism forms the study's theoretical basis, which it deploys in endeavouring to understand the courts' development and in identifying critical junctures in their histories.
Book Synopsis Judicial Activism by : Luís Pereira Coutinho
Download or read book Judicial Activism written by Luís Pereira Coutinho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers different perspectives on judicial practice in the European and American contexts, both arguably characterized in the last decades by the emergence of novel normative and even policy arguments by judges. The central question deserving the attention of the contributors concerns the degree in which judicial exercises in practical reasoning may amount to forms of judicial usurpation of the legislative function by courts. Since different views as to the nature and scope of legal reasoning lead to different degrees of tolerance regarding what should be admissible to courts, that same nature and scope is thoroughly debated. The main disciplinary approach is that of general jurisprudence, but the contributions take stock of other disciplines in which judicial activism has been addressed, namely positive theories of judicial behavior. Accordingly, the book also explores the development of interdisciplinary dialogue about the theme.
Book Synopsis The Rights Revolution by : Charles R. Epp
Download or read book The Rights Revolution written by Charles R. Epp and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that the scope of individual rights has expanded dramatically in the United States over the last half-century. Less well known is that other countries have experienced "rights revolutions" as well. Charles R. Epp argues that, far from being the fruit of an activist judiciary, the ascendancy of civil rights and liberties has rested on the democratization of access to the courts—the influence of advocacy groups, the establishment of governmental enforcement agencies, the growth of financial and legal resources for ordinary citizens, and the strategic planning of grass roots organizations. In other words, the shift in the rights of individuals is best understood as a "bottom up," rather than a "top down," phenomenon. The Rights Revolution is the first comprehensive and comparative analysis of the growth of civil rights, examining the high courts of the United States, Britain, Canada, and India within their specific constitutional and cultural contexts. It brilliantly revises our understanding of the relationship between courts and social change.

Book Synopsis Courts and Judicial Activism under Crisis Conditions by : Martin Belov
Download or read book Courts and Judicial Activism under Crisis Conditions written by Martin Belov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection examines topical issues related to the impact of courts on constitutional politics during extreme conditions. The book explores the impact of activist courts on democracy, separation of powers and rule of law in times of emergency constitutionalism. It starts with a theoretical explanation of the concept, features and main manifestations of judicial activism and its impact in shaping the relationship between constitutional, international and supranational law. It then focuses on judicial activism in extreme conditions, for example, in times of emergencies and pandemics, or in the context of democratic backsliding, authoritarian constitutionalism and illiberal constitutionalism. Thus, the book may be considered as a contribution to the debates on judicial activism, including the discussion of the impact of courts on certainty, proportionality and balancing of rights, as well as on revolutionary courts challenging authoritarian context and generally over the role of courts in the context of illiberalism and democratic backsliding. The volume thus offers an explanation of the concept of judicial activism, its impact on both the legal system and the political order and the role of courts in shaping the structures of the legal order. These issues are explored in theoretical and comparative constitutional perspectives. The book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of courts, constitutional law and constitutional politics.

Book Synopsis Judicial Decision-making in Comparative Perspective: Ideology, Law and Activism in Constitutional Courts by : David Lee Weiden
Download or read book Judicial Decision-making in Comparative Perspective: Ideology, Law and Activism in Constitutional Courts written by David Lee Weiden and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation proposes a new cross-national theory of judicial decision-making. The judicial politicization theory posits that judges on a highly politicized high court will be more likely to decide cases using ideological and attitudinal factors, while judges at less politicized high courts will be more likely to decide cases using legal factors. A new method for calculating judicial politicization is provided, and the theory is tested using generalized-estimating-equation logistic-regression analyses in newly collected data from the supreme courts of the United States, Canada, and Australia. The results show that the American and Australian cases strongly support the theory. That is, the attitudinal model is dominant in the U.S. while the legal model is more influential in Australia. In Canada, both legal and attitudinal factors are significant. In addition, the theory proposes that judicial activism is more likely to occur in highly politicized high courts, and the data also support this hypothesis.
Book Synopsis The Irish Supreme Court by : Brice Dickson
Download or read book The Irish Supreme Court written by Brice Dickson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Ireland since its creation in 1924. It sets out the origins of the Court, explains how it operated during the life of the Irish Free State (1922-1937), and considers how it has developed various fields of law under Ireland's 1937 Constitution, especially after the 're-creation' of the Court in 1961. As well as constitutional law, the book looks at the Court's views on the status and legal system of Northern Ireland, administrative law, criminal justice and personal and family law. There are also chapters on the Supreme Court's interaction with European Union law and with the European Convention on Human Rights. The argument throughout is that, while the Court has been well served by many of its judges, who on occasion have manifested a healthy degree of judicial activism, there are still several legal fields in which the Court has not developed its jurisprudence as clearly or as imaginatively as it might have done. It has often displayed undue conservatism and deference. For many years its performance was hampered by its extreme workload, generated by its inability to control the number of appeals brought to it. However, the creation of a new Court of Appeal in 2014 has freed up the Supreme Court to act in a manner more analogous to that adopted by supreme courts in other common law countries. The Court's future looks bright.

Book Synopsis The Mimetic Evolution of the Court of Justice of the EU by : Leonardo Pierdominici
Download or read book The Mimetic Evolution of the Court of Justice of the EU written by Leonardo Pierdominici and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides fresh perspectives in the legal study of the Court of Justice of the European Union. In the context of European studies, the Court has mainly been analysed in light of its central role in the process of continental integration. Moreover, the Court has traditionally been studied by specialists for its important role as an agent of comparative law. This book studies the evolution of the Court itself, rather than that of the EU legal order in its judge-made dimension, and addresses several institutional aspects of its structure and organization, selected and constructed as a complete range of symptomatic figures of judicial institutionalisation. In doing so, the author seeks to showcase how the development and the institutional evolution of the CJEU happened through a selective internalization of comparative influences.
