The central question deserving the attention of the contributors concerns the degree in which judicial exercises in practical reasoning may amount to forms of judicial usurpation of the legislative function by courts. Since different views as to the nature and scope of legal reasoning lead to different degrees of tolerance regarding what should be admissible to courts, that same nature and scope is thoroughly debated. The main disciplinary approach is that of general jurisprudence, but the contributions take stock of other disciplines in which judicial activism has been addressed, namely positive theories of judicial behavior. Accordingly, the book also explores the development of interdisciplinary dialogue about the theme.Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice,1534-6781 ;44Conflict of lawsConflict of lawsConstitutional lawLaw—EuropePrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002Constitutional Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17028European Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R20000Conflict of laws.Conflict of laws.Constitutional law.Law—Europe.Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law .Constitutional Law.European Law.347.7312Coutinho Luís Pereiraedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLa Torre Massimoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSmith Steven D.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484644903321Judicial Activism2855007UNINA
