The Globalization of Law and The Dialogue of Judges

The globalization of law has led to a convergence of national laws and jurisprudence, allowing for the recognition of universal principles. This research investigates how national judges can influence transnational legal systems and push national legislators to adopt them. Comparing legal systems from politically distant countries and jurisprudence from similar groups, such as the European Union and the USA, the study found that these transformations sometimes give judges authority that exceeds legislator authority.
