There is an intensive controversy regarding the role of courts going on. This controversy knows no borders nor regional limits.
Most participants either blame courts for improper job or uncritically emphasizes the benefits of the contemporary judiciary.

This book strives to reach out beyond this false dilemma, and intends to represent more complete picture of courts in possibly the most diverse selection of countries among current democracies: the United States, Israel and the Czech Republic.
