Reviews

`Too often, the regulation of judges is justified as striking a `balance' (usually at an arbitrary point) between judicial independence and public accountability. Regulating Judges breaks from this thinking, resetting an analysis of judicial regulation inside a three-dimensional pyramid of processes, resources, values and outcomes. Devlin and Dodek have mustered an impressive team of scholars to re-evaluate judicial regulation in 19 countries - many themselves constitutionally complex. The result is a weighty collection of intellectual depth and unprecedented geographic breadth. Scholars, judiciaries and, above all, governments should read Regulating Judges and learn and digest its insights.' -- Reid Mortensen, Legal Ethics `We often use the accountability-independence dichotomy to examine judicial conduct. In their book, Regulating Judges: Beyond Independence and Accountability, Professors Richard Devlin and Adam Dodek illuminate the limitations of this approach, developing a more complete regulatory pyramid to capture the complex and multidimensional environment in which judges function. In judging judges, the pyramid provides a framework for examining current systems and proposed changes for decades to come.' -- Susan Saab Fortney, Texas A&M University School of Law, US

'The book makes a fine addition to comparative legal scholarship, and comparative lawyers interested in courts and judges will find it to be a useful resource. The editors' ambition to encourage a broader view of courts through the application of regulatory theory, and by explicitly considering values, processes, resources and outcomes, is to be applauded as it stands to lead to a richer and more nuanced understanding of the judicial institution.' -- Lorne Neudorf, Cambridge Law Journal 'Too often, the regulation of judges is justified as striking a 'balance' (usually at an arbitrary point) between judicial independence and public accountability.
