Comparative Judicial Politics cover

Comparative Judicial Politics synthesizes the now extensive scholarly work on judicial politics from around the world, focusing on legal traditions, lawyers, judges, constitutional review, international and transnational courts, and the impact and legitimacy of courts. It offers typologies where relevant and intentionally raises questions to challenge readers’ preconceptions of “best” practices.

An accessible, authoritative, and much-needed introduction to comparative judicial politics that summarizes the key themes of the sub-field, building on seminal works and recent scholarship while discussing a range of real-life examples. Strongly recommended for law and political science students, and for anyone interested in knowing more about the growing importance of judicial institutions in political life. -- Raul Sanchez Urribarri, La Trobe University
A well-written overview of judicial politics that will be valuable for both students and scholars. -- Mark C. Miller, Clark University
