Overview

This title was first published in 2000: In a collection of essays from selected European jurisdictions, the author assesses the legal situation of the offences associated with the criticism of judges and judicial activity. Presenting a comparative study of the management of controversial and often conflicting demands between freedom of expression and the independence of the judiciary, this book reflects on a Europe increasingly characterized by legal harmonization and the attempts to find common and acceptable standards in a field full of uncertainties. A unique work, it provides previously undisclosed insights into the widening debate relating to freedom of expression in a democratic society and the impact of judicial activity. It will be a valuable doctrinal and practical text for researchers and practitioners in the field of human rights and freedom of expression, particularly as these areas relate to the judicial sphere.
