		<description><![CDATA[Does the massive case backlog in India merit a consolidation of sorts &#8211; an enforced rationing of the judicial system? What are the implications of making justice scarce, and how can they be tackled? These are questions that Gaurav Laroia (GWU alum, currently with an election monitoring team in Liberia) raises in his pilot post [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The South African Constitutional Court, an institution par excellence, will have a new Chief in its not-so-distant future. Comparative Constitutions has already reported on President Zuma&#8217;s strange pick for the job &#8211; a man with a disappointing judicial record. Apparently, Mogoeng Mogeong, as a lower court judge commuted the punishment of a man who had [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Succinctly summed up, the theory of separation of powers, accepted as a part of the Basic Structure of the Indian Constitution, implies that the Judiciary, Executive and Legislature have certain spheres of operations and distinct functions and that, stemming from the proposition of limited powers, they must not encroach into each other domains, for after [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It would seem that Baba Ramdev&#8217;s demands if met would lead to better democracy. Atleast some think it to be so. Let us first take a short glance at the demands. Recovering the black money from abroad, declaring them to be a national asset, removal of Rs 500 and 1000 notes, popularising hindi as a [...]
