Abstract

Courts play a significant role in shaping public policy. This panel invites papers that focus on either the factors that may influence judicial behaviour on the bench or how judicial decision-making impacts society, including but not limited to the role of courts in holding political and administrative actors accountable. For instance, how do courts employ legal accountability mechanisms and what are the implications for democratic legitimacy?
