Judges are society's elders and experts, our masters and mediators.
We depend on them to dispense justice with integrity, deliberation,
and efficiency. Yet judges, as Alexander Hamilton famously noted,
lack the power of the purse or the sword. They must rely almost
entirely on their reputations to secure compliance with their
decisions, obtain resources, and maintain their political
influence. In Judicial Reputation, Nuno Garoupa and Tom Ginsburg
explain how reputation is not only an essential quality of the
judiciary as a whole, but also of individual judges. Perceptions of
judicial systems around the world range from widespread admiration
to utter contempt, and as judges participate within these
institutions some earn respect, while others are scorned. Judicial
Reputation explores how judges respond to the reputational
incentives provided by the different audiences they interact with
lawyers, politicians, the media, and the public itself and how
institutional structures mediate these interactions. The judicial
structure is best understood not through the lens of legal culture
or tradition, but through the economics of information and
reputation. Transcending those conventional lenses, Garoupa and
Ginsburg employ their long-standing research on the latter to
examine the fascinating effects that governmental interactions,
multicourt systems, extrajudicial work, and the international
rule-of-law movement have had on the reputations of judges in this
era.
