Inhaltsangabe

Jensen and Heller (both of Stanford Law School) suggest that legal practice around the world is frequently divergent from theories of the rule of law, noting that increased financial investment in judicial "reform" seems to have little impact on the situation. They present 11 papers from a geographically diverse group of contributors that examine the prevalent hypotheses on the role of the courts in democratic governance and explore whether these hypotheses can be empirically tested. Central to the proceedings is the question of the nature of judicial investment. Studies look at legal structures from India, China, Chile, Mexico, and elsewhere.
