Captured court

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A captured court rubber-stamps the wishes of a political party or interest group rather than applying the law. It may be nominally independent, but judicial appointments, disciplinary measures for judges who rule against the government, or other control mechanisms are used to influence judicial rulings.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
