Judicial Activism: A Critical Analysis of Its Role in the Development of Common Law

Abstract

Judicial activism is a concept that has been hotly debated in legal circles for decades. While some view it as a necessary tool for ensuring the development of common law in a rapidly changing society, others see it as an overreach of judicial power. This article provides a critical analysis of judicial activism and its role in the development of common law. It examines the history and evolution of the concept, the arguments for and against it, and its impact on the development of common law.
