The text explores a number of key competing themes and underlying tensions which run through the legal system in today's modern society thereby encouraging students to develop an in-depth understanding of the subject. The book draws out the difficult dilemmas which the system is currently facing: Should efficiency be prioritised over quality of justice? Is the civil justice system fundamentally private or public? Can litigation be discouraged without reducing access to justice? These are the sorts of questions which must be addressed in order to understand the direction in which the legal system is moving. Nor are the answers necessarily driven by the needs and internal logic of the system itself. The book shows how political and economic priorities are just as important in determining the policies which shape the legal system today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49566968152337,"sku":"GOR008718466","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0199282412.jpg?v=1751447054"},{"product_id":"new-judiciary-book-kate-malleson-9781840140774","title":"The New Judiciary","description":"During the last thirty years, the judiciary has undergone an unprecedented expansion in its size and power.  Judges now have more influence over our private and public lives than ever before.  The effect of this change has been to transform the judiciary from an inward-looking elite into an increasingly heterogeneous professional body.  'The New Judiciary' examines the developments which have taken place in the appointment, training and scrutiny of judges as a result of the expanding judicial role.  It highlights the increasing tension between the requirements of judicial independence and accountability which these changes are producing.  The traditional insulation of the judiciary from all external influences is being challenged by the need for greater openness and public scrutiny of the judicial process.  The passing of the Human Rights Act 1998, incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law represents another stage in this process by expanding the policy-making role of the senior judiciary still further.  As a result, the continuing modernisation of the judiciary, which is the subject of this book, will be a increasingly important feature of the legal and political process in the years ahead.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49648839557393,"sku":"GOR003108662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52836818911505,"sku":"GOR014635592","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1840140771.jpg?v=1751184749"},{"product_id":"appointing-judges-in-an-age-of-judicial-power-book-kate-malleson-9780802093813","title":"Appointing Judges in an Age of Judicial Power","description":"The global expansion in judicial power has led to a growing interest in the way judges are chosen. Reform of the judicial selection process is on the political agenda in many countries but the nature of that process differs according to the type of process used - whether a career judiciary, an elected judiciary (direct and indirect), appointment by the executive, or a hybrid system.  The main aim of this volume is to analyse common issues arising from increasing judicial power in the context of different political and legal systems, including those in North America, Africa, Europe, Australia, and Asia. The contributors seek to assess the strengths and weaknesses of structural and procedural reforms being proposed or implemented. Particularly important issues include the growing pressure to rethink the balance between judicial independence and accountability and the growing recognition of the importance of selecting judiciaries with a greater diversity in composition.   Edited by Kate Malleson and Peter H. Russell, the volume marks the first time an analysis of judicial selection in such a wide range of different systems has been undertaken. It will interest anyone concerned with the global shift of political power toward the judiciary.
