However, across the island states of the Pacific, over three-quarters of all judges are foreign judges who regularly hear cases of constitutional, legal, and social importance. This has implications for constitutional adjudication, judicial independence, and the representative qualities of judges and judiciaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing together detailed empirical research, legal analysis, and constitutional theory, it traces how foreign judges bring different dimensions of knowledge to bear on adjudication, face distinctive burdens on their independence, and hold only an attenuated connection to the state and its people. It shows how foreign judges have come to be understood as representatives of a transnational profession, with its own transferrable judicial skills and values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeign Judges in the Pacific\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the widespread but often unarticulated assumptions about the significance of nationality to the functions and qualities of constitutional judges. It shows how the nationality of judges matters, not only for the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Pacific courts that use foreign judges, but for legal and theoretical scholarship on courts and judging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470636531948,"sku":"9781509942909","price":93.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509942909-foreign-judges-in-the-pacific.jpg?v=1775223303"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-hart-studies-on-judging-and-the-courts.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
