judiciary  

Definición

  • In modern democracies, judiciaries increasingly intervene directly in governance by regulating social relations (sanctioning deviant behavior and arbitrating conflicts) and through guaranteeing the respect of fundamental norms (established in law and interpreted through legal doctrine). Many social and political scientists, as well as public officials and members of the legal profession, conclude that this “judiciarization of politics” is a positive accomplishment of the rule of law and of judicial democracy.
