Author: Gerald Gunther (Stanford Law School)

Abstract

I will articulate some distinctions that seem important in thinking about the problems of the changing role of judicial institutions. I will suggest some differing identifications of the major historical roots of our current situation. Further, I will venture my own guesses about where we may be heading.
