About the Book: Courts and Their Judgments : Premises Prerequisites Consequences
Do judges merely enforce and interpret the law? Or do they at times
interpolatewords into statutes, even into the Constitution? Where does
interpretation end and rewriting commence? The failure of other institutions to
discharge their duties has compelled the courts to step far outside their
traditional role. Indoing so, have they stretched the law and Constitution too
far? Has theintervention been effective?
Courts and Their Judgments looks at judicial activism through some brilliantly
margued cases and at the need for and pitfalls of such overreach.
