authoritarian regimes and courts

The scholarly body of literature on courts in authoritarian regimes is thin, primarily as the result of an almost universal assumption among political scientists and comparative law scholars that democracy is a necessary prerequisite for judicial independence and, as a result, judicial politics. However, nearly every empirical study of judicial institutions in authoritarian settings indicates that courts do more than simply institutionalize regime control vis-à-vis an opposition.
