Title: How the Legal Complex is Integral to Theories of Judicial Power
Abstract: This essay is a “provocation” invited by the editors (Diana Kapiszewski, Gordon Silverstein, and Robert A. Kagan) of a volume provisionally entitled, Consequential Courts: New Judicial Roles in Global Perspective. The book brings together original essays on constitutional courts in new or restored democracies and the expansion of judicial roles together with general theoretical essays by the editors and three invited “provocateurs.” References in the book to individual chapters are in the form of the (author’s name, country on which the chapter focuses). I am grateful to the editors for the opportunity to participate in conversations around the power of courts, to Malcolm Feeley for his insights and encouragement on this essay, and to Lucien Karpik and Malcolm Feeley for their continuing expansion and refinement of the ideas that have emerged from our common endeavor on the legal complex and political liberalism.
