These are momentous times for the comparative analysis of judicial behaviour. Once the sole province of U.S. scholars—and mostly political scientists at that—now, researchers throughout the world, drawing on history, economics, law, and psychology, are illuminating how and why judges make the choices they do and what effect those choices have on society. Bringing together leading scholars in the field, The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Judicial Behaviour consists of ten sections, each devoted to important subfields: fundamentals—providing overviews designed to identify common trends in courts worldwide; approaches to judging; data, methods, and technologies; staffing the courts; advoc...

Czy – jak głosi popularne powiedzenie – połowa ludzi musi wyjść z sądu niezadowolona? Czy sądy – jako instytucje dokonujące rozstrzygnięć uznawanych przez część kontaktujących się z nimi osób za niekorzystne – muszą być postrzegane negatywnie? Jak budować autorytet władzy sądowniczej w warunkach społeczeństwa obywatelskiego oraz rosnących oczekiwań w zakresie partycypacji i podmiotowego traktowania? Odpowiedzi na te pytania autor poszukuje, odwołując się do koncepcji sprawiedliwości proceduralnej. Przytacza wyniki własnych badań empirycznych, które sugerują, że równie wielkie znaczenie jak sama treść sędziowskich rozstrzygnięć ma dla stron postępowań sposób potraktowania w sądzie: szacunek, bezstronność, zrozumienie i możliwość przedstawienia własnego stanowiska. Ustalenia te mają dalekosiężne implikacje dla autorytetu wszelkiej władzy, nie tylko sądowniczej.

Annotation Researchers, business people and policy makers have recognized the importance of addressing technological, economic and social impacts in conjunction. For example, the rise and fall of the dot-com hype depended on the strength of the business model, on the technological capabilities avalable to firms and on the readiness of the society and economy, at large, to sustain a new breed of business activity. Social and Economic Transformation in the Digital Era addresses this challenge by assembling the latest thinking of leading researchers and policy makers in key subject areas of the information society and presents innovative business models, case studies, normative theories and social explanations.
This book explores the development of both the civil law conception of the Legal State and the common law conception of the Rule of Law. It examines the philosophical and historical background of both concepts, as well as the problem of the interrelation between the two doctrines. The book brings together twenty-five leading scholars from around the world and provides both general and specific jurisdictional perspectives of the issue in both contemporary and historical settings. The Rule of Law is a legal doctrine the meaning of which can only be fully appreciated in the context of both the common law and the European civil law tradition of the Legal State (Rechtsstaat). The Rule of Law and the Legal State are fundamental safeguards of human dignity and of the legitimacy of the state and the authority of state prescriptions.
