The Judicial Role and the Rule of Law -- Part One: The War of Law: State Repression and the Rule of Law -- Repression of the Judiciary -- Judicial Acceptance of Oppression -- The Opposition -- Part Two: Holding Judges Responsible for Injustice: The Argument for Criminal Liability -- The Condition of Illegality under International Law -- The condition of Illegality and Failed Usurpations -- The Condition of Illegality in Transitional Settings -- Judges in Special Courts -- Justification of Judicial Oppression -- A Special Immunity for Judges -- Holding Judges Responsible -- Part Three: The Moral Side of Judging: The Positivism Thesis -- What Positivism? -- Alternative approaches to Legal Interpretation -- Beyond Legal Theory as Explanation -- The Lesser Evil -- Judges for Justice.

This book explores concrete situations in which judges are faced with a legislature and an executive that consciously and systematically discard the ideals of the rule of law. It revolves around three basic questions: What happens when states become oppressive and the judiciary contributes to the oppression? How can we, from a legal point of view, evaluate the actions of judges who contribute to oppression? And, thirdly, how can we understand their participation from a moral point of view and support their inclination to resist?
