With reference to relevant EU and Council of Europe standards, the expert contributors analyse the primary duties of SACs, such as performing advisory functions towards the executive or legislative powers and deciding on disciplinary matters for judges. They provide insights into Roman, German, Scandinavian and Middle-European legal cultures and illustrate the historical and contemporary conditions for judicial review over public administration.Presenting a comprehensive analysis of the doctrine of the separation of powers and the uniqueness of the administrative judiciary, as well as its non-judicial functions across Europe, Beyond Adjudication is an essential reference for scholars and students of European constitutional and administrative law.

The aim of this book is to present the conditions under which the positive role of supervision over courts and judges can be performed, and to shed light on what conditions have to be fulfilled in order to achieve the goal of creating an impartial and professional judiciary system. The analysis has normative and sociological nature, and is presented from various points of view, including international and national legal systems such as Austria, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden. The research has come to the conclusion that administrative supervision may be used as a feasible instrument for making the courts’ activity more effective. It can improve the organization of the courts’ adjudication and may lead to an increase in the quality of jurisprudence.
