Strategic actors in the legal field

Abstract

Judges and other actors in the legal field are often understood as strategic actors, who make decisions in pursuit of specific goals. These range from personal political attitudes to personal or institutional preferences. The concept remains vague and unexplored. The panel acknowledges the achievements of strategic approaches but would like to contribute to its refinement. We welcome both theoretical-conceptual and empirical papers and encourage papers to explain their assumptions and premises about strategic considerations.
