Abstract

This dissertation explores judicial decision-making in times of crisis. By way of a number of case studies focusing on terrorism and economic crisis, it answers two questions: how judges do judge in times of crisis and how judges should judge in times of crisis. It concludes with an agonistic theory of legitimacy for judicial decision-making that focuses on the democratic input to and output of the judicial decision.
