Critics Review

’Disciplining Judges represents a new and important contribution to the fields of Public Law and judicial studies. It positions judicial discipline as an essential component of constitutionalism and the rule of law. This marvellous collection of diverse essays probes the shifting power dynamics through which the judicial, executive and legislative branches interact.’ – Dean Adam Dodek, University of Ottawa, Canada’The constitutional governance question of how jurisdictions ought to deal with allegations of judicial misbehaviour is one that goes to the heart of foundational public law questions about the judicial role, judicial integrity and judicial independence. Devlin and Wildeman have performed an important public law service in bringing together this collection of critical scholarship, which will be the definitive comparative handbook on the issue going forward.’ – - Gabrielle Appleby, University of New South Wales, Australia
