Exploring Extra-legal Influences at the Edge of what is Methodologically Possible
Vol.30,No.2(2022)
The review introduces the book to the reader, highlights limitations of its methodological approach based on interviews with Justices, and places the conclusions in a broader context. The authors have successfully managed to apply Dyevre’s model to the conditions of the Czech Constitutional Court and at the same time summarise everything that has been written about the decision-making processes of the Constitutional Court. This has set the stage for further research, which should take a different path than refining Dyevre’s model. The search for concrete examples of the influence of extra-legal influences or the correction of theoretical assumptions by quantitative methods is suggested.
