Abstract

Courts often play a significant role in shaping public policy and influencing political outcomes. At the same time, courts themselves are shaped by the environment in which they operate. This panel will delve into the factors that influence judicial behavior in both national and international courts. The topics include the influence of judges’ gender or political affiliation on case outcomes, the use of preliminary references, and the politics of using international precedents in domestic courts.
