Recenzje

’Kate Malleson’s new book is an admirable and exciting study of the role of the Judiciary. She wrestles with issues which are frequently assumed but rarely discussed...This is essential reading for all those concerned with constitutional issues and the legal system.’ Robert Stevens, Pembroke College, UK ’This interesting book should be read by everyone...the book has much on training.’ New Law Journal ’This is a well written, scholarly and thoughtful work on the judiciary at the turn of the millennium, strong on analysis and research.’ Justice of the Peace ’...excellent book...most interesting and timely study...its significance is considerable.’ International Criminal Justice Review
