Objectives
Aims to promote the comparative study of judicial processes. This entails analyses of the various components of these processes: the legal profession, the judiciary, courts (as institutions), legal doctrines, legal cultures; and how these components relate to other po-litical institutions and political systems such as executives, legislatures, political parties, constitutions, federalism, political culture.
The ultimate aim is to enhance knowledge of the common and disparate factors among the judicial/political systems of the countries of the world.
