Perils of Judicial Self-Government in Transitional Societies
Judicial
councils and other judicial self-government bodies have become a
worldwide phenomenon. Democracies are increasingly turning to them to
insulate the judiciary from the daily politics, enhance independence and
ensure judicial accountability. This book investigates the different
forms of accountability and the taxonomy of mechanisms of control to
determine a best practice methodology. The author expertly provides a
meticulous analysis, using over 800 case studies from the Czech and
Slovak disciplinary courts from 1993 to 2010 and creates a systematic
framework that can be applied to future cases.
