There is no consensus among legal scholars on the meaning of
judicial integrity, nor has legal scholarship yet seen a
well-articulated discussion about the normative concept of judicial
integrity. This book makes an analysis of the discourses on
judicial integrity in judiciaries in both established and
developing democracies. In the former, the rule of law is
well-developed and trust in the judges is high, yet new demands for
accountability emerge. In the latter, traditional integrity
problems such as fraud and corruption take centre stage. The author
argues that integrity must be understood both as professional
virtue -discussed here through the lens of virtue ethical theory -
and as the safeguarding of public trust, as understood through
institutional theory. The Integrity of the Judge is a significant
new work for legal theorists and philosophers, as well as scholars
of legal and judicial ethics.
