Beyond the J udgment –\; Courts\, Trust and the Rule of Law Courts shape the c onditions of life in society by applying and interpreting the law. Thr ough their rulings\, constitutional and international human rights cou rts determine how rights are applied in practice and thereby affect th e lives of people far beyond individual cases. In some constitutional systems\, courts can invalidate decisions of elected bodies\, and thei r rulings may therefore become politically contested\, sometimes trigg ering a backlash against the courts themselves. Yet judicial independe nce has in many cases proved more resilient to such pressures than mig ht have been expected\, although this resilience should not be taken f or granted. This panel asks where a court’s resilience comes from. L egal cultures differ\, and so does the way courts earn trust. British courts rely on oral advocacy and precedent\, while parliamentary sover eignty limits their power. The German Federal Constitutional Court dec ides mostly in writing yet enjoys exceptionally high public trust. The European Court of Human Rights must reconcile 46 legal traditions and depends on governments’ willingness to comply. The Inter-American C ourt of Human Rights sits in member states to reach those most affecte d\, and the bench of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights is designed to reflect the continent’s legal traditions. There is no single model of a resilient court. Where citizens understand what is at stake\, they have defended their courts and\, through elections\, r eversed developments that weakened them. The rule of law concerns not lawyers alone\, but everyone who depends on fair and predictable decis ions. The panel will discuss these aspects and also reflect on our gue sts’ paths into the law\, between scholarship and practice. This spe aks in particular to students and doctoral researchers weighin DTSTART:20261120T150000Z DTEND:20261120T180000Z LOCATION:FAU CHREN\, Andreij-Sacharow-Platz 1\, 90403 Nürnberg\, Lect ure Hall\, 4th floor DTSTAMP:20261106T011554Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
