"This book offers a plethora of intriguing examples of practical
reason in the service of an eclectic mix of justice ethically
conceived and of law as a body of rules and principles that bind us
even when power is lacking to enforce those norms. Few jurists in
the world have regularly confronted the kinds of seemingly
impossible conundrums that Barak has with amazing frequency managed
to turn into surprisingly agreeable outcomes."--Laurence Tribe,
Harvard University, author of "American Constitutional Law"
"A remarkable work by a remarkable jurist. A most important
contribution to our understanding of the role of a judiciary in a
democracy, this book will be of wide appeal to judges, legal
scholars, and law students, as well as political theorists and
others interested in the law and legal institutions."--Frank
Iacobucci, retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada
"This book provides a candid and elaborate account by a leading
supreme court justice on his craft of judging. Aharon Barak
discusses some of the most important (and controversial)
jurisprudential questions and demonstrates the ways in which he has
put his convictions on these matters into action in shaping Israeli
jurisprudence. As such, "The Judge" represents a valuable encounter
of legal theory and judicial practice. Judges and scholars
associated with new constitutional courts will find the book
instructive. American judges and scholars, in turn, will see it as
a powerful antithesis to the approach of another prominent jurist,
Justice Antonin Scalia of the United States Supreme Court."--Hanoch
Dagan, Tel-Aviv University Faculty of Law School, author of "The
Law and Ethics of Restitution"
