About this ebook

Judicial independence, the ability of courts to operate without political or personal bias, is vital for democracy and the rule of law. Judicial Independence Safeguards explores the constitutional and practical elements needed to secure this independence, using global examples to illustrate both successful strategies and ongoing threats like political interference. The book highlights that without judicial independence, the promise of equal justice is undermined; consider, for example, how an independent judiciary ensures fair elections and protects human rights.

The book begins by defining judicial independence, differentiating between institutional and decisional autonomy. It then examines various legal systems, analyzing how they handle judicial appointments, security of tenure, and financial autonomy. By drawing on global justice indices, the book provides an empirical assessment of judicial independence worldwide.

Using a fact-based approach, the book presents complex topics in an accessible manner for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in justice. By offering a broad perspective on legal systems and political situations, the book informs policy discussions and reinforces initiatives aimed at advancing judicial integrity.
