Book Synopsis The Independence of Judges in China and Germany by : Yuanyuan Wang
Download or read book The Independence of Judges in China and Germany written by Yuanyuan Wang and published by Europäische Hochschulschriften Recht. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares the systems of judicial independence in China and Germany, with the aim of drawing lessons from the German experience to improve the judicial system in China. The review of the German system not only discusses the system of judicial independence itself but also analyses its corresponding social and constitutional set-up in order to identify the social and constitutional and/or governmental foundations necessitated. On this basis, the author discusses which experiences by the German system of judicial independence the Chinese system could draw on, which aspects would have to be adapted to certain particularities of the Chinese system, and which problems of execution or social context might arise due to the differences between Germany and present-day Chinese society and constitutional government.
Book Synopsis Judicial Independence in China by : Randall Peerenboom
Download or read book Judicial Independence in China written by Randall Peerenboom and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume challenges the conventional wisdom about judicial independence in China and its relationship to economic growth, rule of law, human rights protection, and democracy. The volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach that places China's judicial reforms and the struggle to enhance the professionalism, authority, and independence of the judiciary within a broader comparative and developmental framework. Contributors debate the merits of international best practices and their applicability to China; provide new theoretical perspectives and empirical studies; and discuss civil, criminal, and administrative cases in urban and rural courts. This volume contributes to several fields, including law and development and the promotion of rule of law and good governance, globalization studies, neo-institutionalism and studies of the judiciary, the emerging literature on judicial reforms in authoritarian regimes, Asian legal studies, and comparative law more generally.

Book Synopsis Rule of Law in China by : Katrin Blasek
Download or read book Rule of Law in China written by Katrin Blasek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes in detail differing interpretations of the rule of law in Western legal systems and in the People’s Republic of China. As the rule of law is seen by many as a prerequisite for China’s future development, politicians, activists and entrepreneurs from China and from the West alike have long been calling for adherence to this principle, which is constitutive of Western democracies. All these groups use the same words, but do they truly share the same idea? In order to address this question, the book compares the “Rule of Law with Chinese characteristics,” as propagated by Chinese leaders and in official Chinese publications, to different applications of the rule of law as it is understood in Western civilization. In particular, the author takes a closer look at the implementations of recognized core elements of the rule of law in representative Western countries, which include the separation of power, the supremacy of law, the protection of fundamental rights, and the independence of the justice system.

Book Synopsis The Limits of Judicial Independence by : Tom S. Clark
Download or read book The Limits of Judicial Independence written by Tom S. Clark and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-22 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the causes and consequences of congressional attacks on the US Supreme Court, arguing that the extent of public support for judicial independence constitutes the practical limit of judicial independence. First, the book presents a historical overview of Court-curbing proposals in Congress. Then, building on interviews with Supreme Court justices, members of Congress, and judicial and legislative staffers, the book theorizes that congressional attacks are driven by public discontent with the Court. From this theoretical model, predictions are derived about the decision to engage in Court-curbing and judicial responsiveness to Court-curbing activity in Congress. The Limits of Judicial Independence draws on illustrative archival evidence, systematic analysis of an original dataset of Court-curbing proposals introduced in Congress from 1877 onward and judicial decisions.
Book Synopsis The People’s Courts by : Jed Handelsman Shugerman
Download or read book The People’s Courts written by Jed Handelsman Shugerman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, almost 90 percent of state judges have to run in popular elections to remain on the bench. In the past decade, this peculiarly American institution has produced vicious multi-million-dollar political election campaigns and high-profile allegations of judicial bias and misconduct. The People’s Courts traces the history of judicial elections and Americans’ quest for an independent judiciary—one that would ensure fairness for all before the law—from the colonial era to the present. In the aftermath of economic disaster, nineteenth-century reformers embraced popular elections as a way to make politically appointed judges less susceptible to partisan patronage and more independent of the legislative and executive branches of government. This effort to reinforce the separation of powers and limit government succeeded in many ways, but it created new threats to judicial independence and provoked further calls for reform. Merit selection emerged as the most promising means of reducing partisan and financial influence from judicial selection. It too, however, proved vulnerable to pressure from party politics and special interest groups. Yet, as Shugerman concludes, it still has more potential for protecting judicial independence than either political appointment or popular election. The People’s Courts shows how Americans have been deeply committed to judicial independence, but that commitment has also been manipulated by special interests. By understanding our history of judicial selection, we can better protect and preserve the independence of judges from political and partisan influence.
Book Synopsis The Separation of Powers in the Contemporary Constitution by : Roger Masterman
Download or read book The Separation of Powers in the Contemporary Constitution written by Roger Masterman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 2010 book, Roger Masterman examines the dividing lines between the powers of the judicial branch of government and those of the executive and legislative branches in the light of two of the most significant constitutional reforms of recent years: the Human Rights Act (1998) and Constitutional Reform Act (2005). Both statutes have implications for the separation of powers within the United Kingdom constitution. The Human Rights Act brings the judges into much closer proximity with the decisions of political actors than previously permitted by the Wednesbury standard of review and the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty, while the Constitutional Reform Act marks the emergence of an institutionally independent judicial branch. Taken together, the two legislative schemes form the backbone of a more comprehensive system of constitutional checks and balances policed by a judicial branch underpinned by the legitimacy of institutional independence.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Judicial Independence in the UK's Changing Constitution by : Graham Gee
Download or read book The Politics of Judicial Independence in the UK's Changing Constitution written by Graham Gee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial independence is generally understood as requiring that judges must be insulated from political life. The central claim of this work is that far from standing apart from the political realm, judicial independence is a product of it. It is defined and protected through interactions between judges and politicians. In short, judicial independence is a political achievement. This is the main conclusion of a three-year research project on the major changes introduced by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, and the consequences for judicial independence and accountability. The authors interviewed over 150 judges, politicians, civil servants and practitioners to understand the day-to-day processes of negotiation and interaction between politicians and judges. They conclude that the greatest threat to judicial independence in future may lie not from politicians actively seeking to undermine the courts, but rather from their increasing disengagement from the justice system and the judiciary.

Book Synopsis Do Exclusionary Rules Ensure a Fair Trial? by : Sabine Gless
Download or read book Do Exclusionary Rules Ensure a Fair Trial? written by Sabine Gless and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access publication discusses exclusionary rules in different criminal justice systems. It is based on the findings of a research project in comparative law with a focus on the question of whether or not a fair trial can be secured through evidence exclusion. Part I explains the legal framework in which exclusionary rules function in six legal systems: Germany, Switzerland, People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Singapore, and the United States. Part II is dedicated to selected issues identified as crucial for the assessment of exclusionary rules. These chapters highlight the delicate balance of interests required in the exclusion of potentially relevant information from a criminal trial and discusses possible approaches to alleviate the legal hurdles involved.

Book Synopsis Regulating Judges by : Richard Devlin
Download or read book Regulating Judges written by Richard Devlin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-30 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulating Judges presents a novel approach to judicial studies. It goes beyond the traditional clash of judicial independence versus judicial accountability. Drawing on regulatory theory, Richard Devlin and Adam Dodek argue that judicial regulation is multi-faceted and requires us to consider the complex interplay of values, institutional norms, procedures, resources and outcomes. Inspired by this conceptual framework, the book invites scholars from 19 jurisdictions to describe and critique the regulatory regimes for a variety of countries from around the world.
