Abstract

Until relatively recently, judicial selection did not stir up much interest outside the United States. However, with the increase in judicial power in courts around the world, the process of judicial selection has received more attention. Debates about possible reforms to the selection process have emerged on the political agenda of many countries (Malleson 2006, 10). These debates tend to revolve around two major dimensions.
