The panel explores various aspects related to law and courts across political regimes, with a common theme revolving around the (executive) pressure on judges. One set of papers focuses on the strategies employed by autocrats to pressure the judiciary or utilize courts for regime consolidation; and democratic recession via small, gradual reforms. Another focus is on the strategies of resistance against autocratization by judges and the judiciary, and civil society. Other papers explore judicial decision-making and the political discourse about the rule of law in democracies.
