This book formed as a series of essays in honour of Professor Carl Baudenbacher addresses the
very art of judicial reasoning and features contributions from many of the foremost current or
former national supranational or international judges.This unique volume is intended first
and foremost for legal scholars but its approachable style makes it readily accessible for
students and for those with a general interest in the application of the law and justice in
today's multi-layered world. The collection of essays is rather more philosophical and
reflective as opposed to doctrinal. Each contribution focuses on the nature and operation of
justice the independence of the judiciary and on judicial style primarily from the
perspective of the judges themselves. The book provides perspectives on what it means to be
accountable and independent as a judge the role of language and languages in the quest for
justice while other contributions acquaint readers with the some of the structures of courts
themselves or indeed question for whom judgments are written.Each chapter has been written by
a presiding judge or head of an institution and the book is divided into three parts: - Part I
Art and Method- Part II Justice and the Judiciary- Part III Reasoning and Language(s)
