  • More about Judicial Independence Under Threat

Judicial independence is under threat from populism, which seeks to undermine the separation of powers and label judges as part of the establishment and the elite. Judicial Independence Under Threat seeks to protect judicial independence by bringing academic scholars, judges, politicians, and legal professionals together to discuss the core shared values of our legal and political systems and how threats can be protected against.

Judicial independence is facing mounting threats in today's world. The rise of populism poses a significant risk to the separation of powers, as certain politicians, media outlets, and members of the public target judges, branding them as part of the establishment and the elite, enemies of the people.

Judicial Independence Under Threat aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of these contemporary challenges to judicial independence by examining them in the context of legal, philosophical, political, and historical perspectives. The book brings together academic scholars from diverse disciplines, alongside judges, politicians, and legal professionals, to explore the core values that judicial independence seeks to protect and the strategies that can be employed to safeguard it against threats.

Through comparative, historical, political, philosophical, and legal insights, the book seeks to understand the separation of powers and identify effective measures to prevent challenges to the independence of judges during times of crisis. It raises important questions about the role of the judiciary in maintaining a democratic society, the balance between the branches of government, and the protection of individual rights and freedoms.

By examining these issues in depth, Judicial Independence Under Threat offers valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers, judges, legal professionals, and scholars alike. It serves as a timely reminder of the importance of judicial independence and the need to safeguard it against any threats that may arise.
