This volume of the Netherlands Institute for Law and Governance Series is the result of an international conference on the theme 'Judicial and Quasi-Judicial Independence' held on 25 May 2012 in Groningen, the Netherlands.
It is the objective of this book, as of the conference that preceded it, to bring together eminent judges and scholars, from various jurisdictions to reflect on the fundamental principles of judicial and quasi-judicial independence, to help clarify the concepts and to discuss the threats and challenges that call for different safeguards or solutions.
