Courts and their audiences

Abstract

Courts stand as the focal point of justice, hosting and interacting with diverse audiences. Inside the courtroom, judges, lawyers, parties to the case, and spectators convene, each playing a distinct role in the trial. Outside the courthouse, academics, journalists, pundits, and other intermediaries, online and offline, comment on and interpret the work of courts. Further, civil society interacts with courts through legal mobilisation. This panel examines the interaction between courts, judges, and their various audiences.
