Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on contributors who are judges, governmental officials or academics, from five countries in Central Europe: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia, this collection provides a cohesive analysis of the emerging systems of justice in the region. The principal goal was to examine how systems of justice have adapted to post-communist liberal democratic conditions and this is accomplished by examining three topics: the constitutional systems, styles of judicial reasoning and theories of decision-making, and the judiciary as a profession.
