Treating Like Cases Alike in the World: The Theoretical Basis of the Demand for Legal Unity
Files
Description
This volume is concerned with exploring the theoretical and practical consequences of globalization for national highest courts. Many traditional assumptions pertaining to these institutions, for example that national highest courts stand at the apex of a unified and coherent legal order or that national courts have no autonomous role as international or transnational actors, have come under increasing scrutiny over the last few years. The authors of this book—comprising both leading scholars and distinguished judges—explore the various dimensions of this issue and offer novel perspectives on the role of highest courts in an internationalising world. This book is therefore highly recommended to judges and practitioners in national and international courts, academics, parliamentarians and civil servants of national ministries of justice and the interior.
