	Encyclopedia: The Nature of the Judicial Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		My analysis of the judicial process comes then to this, and little more: logic, and history, and custom, and utility, and the accepted standards of right conduct, are the forces which singly or in combination shape the progress of the law.
		This judicial tradition, established by Jeremy Bentham, who had a deep distrust of judge-made law, stated that it is undemocratic for the non-elected judiciary to act as law-makers; this function should be the prerogative of the Queen's Ministers and the elected members in Parliament.
		Judicial review has come to be defined as the power of a court to hold unconstitutional and hence unenforceable any law, official action based on a law, or any other action by a public official, that it deems to be in conflict with the basic law, that is, the Constitution.

	Judicial Process - CSB \| SJU - The J-Book (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Saint John's University has deliberately created a judicial process that is educational in focus, a process where the hearing officer, panel, or board uses discussion to determine the responsibility of the student involved in the incident and also to determine a meaningful response to the situation.
		Rather, the judicial process itself, and the outcomes prescribed by the hearing officer, panel, or board, are educational in nature, challenging the student to learn from the incident.
		The purpose of the Peer Judicial Board is to hear cases involving students who have allegedly violated University policies or expectations to determine the responsibility of the student in relation to the alleged incident and the appropriate educational sanction for that level of responsibility.

	Student Handbook: Judicial Process
		The student judicial process is intended to respond exclusively to violations of the Student Code of Conduct and to general University community standards.

		The conservatives’ rallying cry against judicial activism at the start of the twenty-first century is exactly the same rallying cry used by liberals in the 1920s and ’30s decrying the judicial activism of conservative judges who read economic rights into the constitution.

	Benjamin N. Cardozo, The Nature of the Judicial Process (1921)
		Never by a process of logical deduction from the idea of abstract ownership could we distinguish the incidents of an estate in fee simple from those of an estate for life, or those of an estate for life from those of an estate for years.
		The great ideals of liberty and equality are preserved against the assaults of opportunism, the expediency of the passing hour, the erosion of small encroachments, the scorn and derision of those who have no patience with general principles, by enshrining them in constitutions, and consecrating to the task of their protection a body of defenders.
		The difference, as one theory of judicial duty or the other prevails, involves at most a little change of emphasis, of the method of approach, of the point of view, the angle, from which problems are envisaged.

	The Federal Judicial Process in Brief - Understanding the Federal Courts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The litigation process in United States courts is referred to as an "adversarial" system because it relies on the litigants to present their dispute before a neutral fact-finder.
		In the United States, the work of collecting evidence and preparing to present it to the court is accomplished by the litigants and their attorneys, normally without assistance from the court.
		Another characteristic of the American judicial system is that litigants typically pay their own court costs and attorneys fees whether they win or lose.

	Insight on the News: Symposium - judicial-confirmation process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In spite of the increasingly heated rhetoric from pundits and politicians, the Senate's role in the judicial-confirmation process is not to robber-stamp the president's nominees.
		In contrast to modern right-wing mythology that Robert Bork was the first judicial candidate to face careful scrutiny, including his judicial philosophy, his rejection was part of a tradition as old as the republic.
		Indeed, the televised deliberations around his nomination and judicial philosophy probably were the nation's finest debates about the history and meaning of the Constitution.

	SSRN-The 'Blue Slip': Enforcing the Norms of the Judicial Confirmation Process by Brannon Denning
		After 1994, for example, when Republicans regained control of the House and the Senate, senators used the power of committee chairman and the "hold" to kill nominations for cabinet positions, department heads, ambassadorships, and judgeships on what seemed to be an unprecedented scale.
		In Part I, I reconstruct the operation and origins of the blue slip process; Part II discusses the recent flap over the blue slip occasioned by the announcement of Bush's first judicial nominees, whose selection was nearly overshadowed by the Republicans' loss of the Senate.
		Part III considers whether the process is consistent with the Constitution's allocation of power to appoint and confirm nominees to federal posts.

	Torture and Confession in the Book of the New Sun
		As we shall see, the judicial system in TBotNS is not at all concerned with reform of the prisoner, but with punishment for transgression of the rule of law.
		To be publicly paraded as a criminal spectacle was meant to be part of a whole "branding" process that was quite extensive, for apart from the humiliating walk in public to the scaffold or place of detention, there were other rituals involved.
		The judicial system in TBotNS can therefore be very safely dated prior to the prison reform of the mid-18th to early 19th centuries, to a time when torture and confession were the primary means of juridicality.
