For legal scholar Aaron Tang, however, partisanship is not the Court's root problem. Overconfidence is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConservative and liberal justices alike have adopted a tone of uncompromising certainty in their ability to solve society's problems with just the right lawyerly arguments. The result is a Court that lurches stridently from one case to the next, delegitimising opposing views and undermining public confidence in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo restore the Court's legitimacy, Tang proposes a different approach to hard cases: a \"least harm principle\" under which the Court rules against the side with the greatest ability to avoid the harm it would suffer in defeat. Examining a surprising number of popular opinions where the Court has applied this approach, Tang shows how the least harm principle can provide a promising and legally grounded framework for the difficult cases that divide our nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471656337644,"sku":"9780300264036","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300264036-supreme-hubris.jpg?v=1775248916"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/aaron-tang.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
