In addition to this wide angle, a tight focus on five countries -- Canada, France, Germany, the UK and the US -- reveals the effects of changing legal language on policy power for judges. With this new perspective and new data, the book explains how and why judges have become more actively involved in public policy disputes on such sensitive topics as abortion, human rights and terrorism. Matthew Williams is Tutor and Fellow of Jesus College, University of Oxford, UK. He lectures on British and comparative politics. His research analyses the language of politics, how the language of legislation has changed over the past century, and the effects of these changes on litigation strategies and public administration. 650 0 $a Law $x Language. 650 0 $a Judicial power. 650 0 $a Judges. 650 6 $a Pouvoir judiciaire. 650 7 $a Judges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984490 650 7 $a Judicial power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984696 650 7 $a Law $x Language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993769 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030914950 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717020057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0854F9A8C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
