(Dis)Trust in, between and within courts: Exploring the drivers and effects of (dis)trust

Abstract

Because the judiciary does not have an independent enforcing power to secure compliance, courts rely on the support for and the acceptance of their role. Trust is necessary for acceptance, compliance and cooperation. When trust is low or distrust is present, compliance, cooperation, and legitimacy are weak or absent. This panel aims to stimulate a dialogue on the role of (dis)trust in, between and within courts by exploring the drivers and effects of trust, that uncover potential decline in trust and sources of distrust, or identify ways of improving trust.
