Description
This essay looks at how politics and law intersect in six Western European countries, and how this affects judicial policy-making. The essay also looks at how these policies are affected by two supra-national bodies - the European Union and the United Nations.
Focusing on the intersection of politics and law in six western European countries and in two supra-national bodies, the contributors here aim to debunk the myth that judges are merely la bouche de la loi and analyze similiarities in policy-making of the judiciaries from one nation to the next.
