Reform of the judicial selection process is on the political agenda in many countries but the nature of that process differs according to the type of process used - whether a career judiciary, an elected judiciary (direct and indirect), appointment by the executive, or a hybrid system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main aim of this volume is to analyse common issues arising from increasing judicial power in the context of different political and legal systems, including those in North America, Africa, Europe, Australia, and Asia. The contributors seek to assess the strengths and weaknesses of structural and procedural reforms being proposed or implemented. Particularly important issues include the growing pressure to rethink the balance between judicial independence and accountability and the growing recognition of the importance of selecting judiciaries with a greater diversity in composition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Kate Malleson and Peter H. Russell, the volume marks the first time an analysis of judicial selection in such a wide range of different systems has been undertaken. It will interest anyone concerned with the global shift of political power toward the judiciary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jim Allen\u003cbr\u003e Sufian Hemed Bukurura\u003cbr\u003e Leny De Groot\u003cbr\u003e Francois du Bois\u003cbr\u003e Antoine Garapon\u003cbr\u003e Mahmoud Hamad\u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth Handsley\u003cbr\u003e Colin Hawes\u003cbr\u003e Christine Landfried\u003cbr\u003e Ruth Mackenzie\u003cbr\u003e Kate Malleson\u003cbr\u003e Derek Matyszakv\u003cbr\u003e Ted Morton\u003cbr\u003e David O'Brien\u003cbr\u003e Alan Paterson\u003cbr\u003e Marie Provine\u003cbr\u003e Peter H.
