Can Courts Manage the Twenty-First Century?
Edited by Rob van Gestel, Jurgen de Poorter and Edward Rubin

‘How should judges approach their difficult, institutional-legitimacy-testing mandate of reviewing complex policy choices made on the basis of sometimes imperfect empirical data?

The Future of Judicial Independence in Europe
Edited by Petra Bárd and Jasper Krommendijk

‘At a time of spreading and deepening rule of law backsliding, this interdisciplinary volume helpfully unpacks how would-be autocrats have sought and, in some cases, succeeded in systematically undermining judicial independence in the EU. Multifaceted responses from local, national and European actors and potential solutions to better defend and restore judicial independence are also offered making this volume an important addition to the literature on judicial independence in an era of growing authoritarian populism.’

– Laurent Pech, UCD Sutherland School of Law, Ireland
