Democracy in the Courts examines lay participation in the
administration of justice and how it reflects certain democratic
principles. An international comparative perspective is taken for
exploring how lay people are involved in the trial of criminal
cases in European countries and how this impacts on their
perspectives of the national legal systems. Comparisons between
countries are made regarding how and to what extent lay
participation takes place and the relation between lay
participation and the legal system's legitimacy is analyzed.
Presenting the results of interviews with both professional judges
and lay participants in a number of European countries regarding
their views on the involvement of lay people in the legal system,
this book explores the ways in which judges and lay people interact
while trying cases, examining the characteristics of both
professional and lay judging of cases. Providing an important
analysis of practice, this book will be of interest to academics,
legal scholars and practitioners alike.
