The role of the European judiciary has, in recent years, undergone a significant upheaval that has led to a realignment of judicial, legislative and executive powers. This exciting new book provides an insider's perspective on how these changes have affected the practical aspects of life in the European judiciary. This first book in Elgar's new series on Judicial Cooperation covers areas central to the evolution of the judiciary's role, including the protection of its independence, the working conditions of the judiciaries, as well as their relations with outside partners. With great insight, the contributors to this volume explore the shifting role that courts play as both legal innovators and system stabilizers. In order to carry out these roles effectively the judiciary must strive for cooperation: this book makes a valuable contribution to that aim. Regulating Judicial Activity in Europe will appeal to researchers and graduate students as well as to EU and national officials.

Im Oktober 1863 hat - noch vor der Gründung des Deutschen Reichs - mit dem Badischen Verwaltungsgerichtshof in Karlsruhe das erste Verwaltungsgericht in Deutschland seine Arbeit aufgenommen, alsbald gefolgt von den anderen deutschen Ländern. Dies gibt Anlass, sich mit der Geschichte der Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit in Deutschland während der letzten 150 Jahre zu befassen, beginnend mit ihrer damaligen Struktur und Zuständigkeit, mit Beispielen früher Rechtsprechung des PreußOVG, der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus bis zur Struktur der Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit in der Bundesrepublik. Die Rechtsprechung als Spiegel der Zeitgeschichte wird ebenso dargestellt wie die Herausforderungen nach der Wiedervereinigung und Fragestellungen der neueren Zeit, etwa die nach der Schaffung eines einheitlichen Fachgerichts. Der Beitrag basiert auf einem Vortrag, den der ehemalige Präsident des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts aus Anlass des Jubiläums im Oberverwaltungsgericht Berlin - Brandenburg, dem ursprünglichen Gebäude des PreußOVG gehalten hat.

Until recently, American legal historiography focused almost solely on national government. Although much of Kansas law reflects U.S. law, the state court's arbitrary powers over labor-management conflicts, yellow dog contracts, civil rights, gender issues, and domestic relations set precedents that reverberated around the country. Sunflower Justice is a pioneering work that presents the history of a state through the use of its supreme court decisions as evidence. R. Alton Lee traces Kansas's legal history through 150 years of records, shedding light on the state'

State supreme courts use state constitutional provisions to afford their citizens state constitutional rights beyond the protections that the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the U.S. Constitution to require. As state supreme courts consider expanding state constitutional rights they engage in an ongoing dialogue with their sister state supreme courts. Results indicate this dialogue amongst state supreme courts influences decisions interpreting state constitutional rights. Denniston demonstrates through analysis of state supreme court decisions and interviews with state supreme court justice
