Democracy and Courts: Navigating Backsliding and Building Trust

Thu, September 5, 10:00 to 11:30am, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, 401

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

Inter- and intrastate courts are often called upon to play critical roles in maintaining democratic institutions, but they do so from precarious positions of power. How are these courts approaching this role, and what features of their institutional designs are most likely to help stave off democratic backsliding? This panel draws upon insights from the judiciaries of the European Union, OECD countries, Egypt, and Taiwan to assess examples of judicial reforms and strategic deployment of judicial power in these contexts.
