Märksõnad:
Why do judges study legal sources which originated outside their own national legal system, and how do they use arguments from these sources in deciding domestic cases? Based on interviews with judges, this book presents the inside story of how judges engage with international and comparative law in the highest courts of the US, Canada, the UK, France, and the Netherlands. A comparative analysis of the views and experiences of the judges clarifies how the decision-making of these Western courts has developed in light of the internationalization of law and the increased opportunities for transnational judicial communication. While the qualitative analysis reveals the motives which judges claim for using foreign law and the influence of 'globalist' and 'localist' approaches on judging, the book also discovers a convergence of practices between the courts. This empirical analysis is complemented by a constitutional-theoretical inquiry into the procedural and substantive factors of legal evolution, which enable or constrain the development and possible convergence of highest courts' practices. The two strands of analysis are connected in a final contextual reflection on the future development of the role of Western high courts. This unique study will be of interest to all those interested in the process of judicial decision-making and the effects of globalization on the legal system. (Series: Hart Studies in Comparative Public Law - Vol. 3)

Arvustused

Elaine Mak's excellent book brings an important contribution to the current debate on judicial decision-making in a globalized world.

...the reviewers strongly suggest the reading of this brilliant book which has all the qualities for becoming a "must-read" for...scholars and practitioners -- Suzanne Comtois and Mauro Zamboni * Canadian Journal of Administrative Law and Practice, volume 27, 2014 * It is a very meticulous and welcome, but specialized, addition to the globalization of law literature...

in meticulously tracking down the prevalence of references to foreign and transitional law in the work of national judges, Professor Mak has pointed to something new in the legal world.

the virtues of this book are many[ it] contributes importantly to what I hope will be a growing field of trans-Atlantic studies. -- Martin Shapiro * Law and Politics Book Review * Maks comparative study offers a significant contribution to the scholarship on the use of foreign legal materials in legal developments. The close scrutiny of the inner workings of the highest courts also make it a welcome addition to the field of comparative judicial studies. The book certainly merits attention from both lawyers and political scientists. -- Sophie Turenne * International and Comparative Law Quarterly * ...fresh, ambitious, and hypothesis generating - her book contributes to a powerful research agenda for scholars in the field. -- Erin F Delaney * Public Law * Mak provides an accessible comparative analysis that can and should be enjoyed by those with an interest in the influences on judicial decision-making. -- Melanie Hodges Neufeld * Canadian Law Library *
