In studies and discussions on justice, more and more attention is being paid to the phenomenon of judiciarisation. This term refers to the growing recourse of the social actors to the courts, to the ever increasing requests for the courts to deal with the key problems of society and an ever more pronounced trend for the treatment of issues to be shifted from the political arena to the court room.
Today, there are many signs to indicate that the judicial, administrative and constitutional courts are playing an increasing role in the management of public, social and political affairs.
