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\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\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\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJim Allen\u003cbr\u003eSufian Hemed Bukurura\u003cbr\u003eLeny De Groot\u003cbr\u003eFrancois du Bois\u003cbr\u003eAntoine Garapon\u003cbr\u003eMahmoud Hamad\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Handsley\u003cbr\u003eColin Hawes\u003cbr\u003eChristine Landfried\u003cbr\u003eRuth Mackenzie\u003cbr\u003eKate Malleson\u003cbr\u003eDerek Matyszakv\u003cbr\u003eTed Morton\u003cbr\u003eDavid O'Brien\u003cbr\u003eAlan Paterson\u003cbr\u003eMarie Provine\u003cbr\u003ePeter H.
