Case law on criminal procedure and doctrine

Meer over het boek

Exploring the nuances of jurisprudence, this book delves into the role of law in judicial decision-making, particularly highlighting the contrast between common law and Romano-Germanic legal traditions. In common law systems, case law significantly influences judicial outcomes, with appellate court decisions binding lower courts, rooted in the principle of stare decisis. Conversely, Romano-Germanic systems prioritize legislative authority, limiting the courts' role in law creation. This examination reveals the complexities of legal interpretation and the balance between judicial and legislative powers.
