In Towering Judges: A Comparative Study of Constitutional Judges,
Rehan Abeyratne and Iddo Porat lead an exploration of a new topic
in comparative constitutional law: towering judges. The volume
examines the work of nineteen judges from fourteen jurisdictions,
each of whom stood out individually among their fellow judges and
had a unique impact on the trajectory of constitutional law. The
chapters ask: what makes a towering judge; what are the background
conditions that foster or deter the rise of towering judges; are
towering judges, on balance, positive or detrimental for
constitutional systems; how do towering judges differ from one
jurisdiction to another; how do political and historical
developments relate to this phenomenon; and how does all of this
fit within global constitutionalism? The answers to these questions
offer important insight into how these judges were able to shine to
an uncommon degree in a profession where individualism is not
always looked on favourably.
