Abstract
This article accompanies a Roadmap on the judicial use of comparative law, which was developed by judges from different European supreme courts. This document is published in this issue of Utrecht Law Review. Brief reflections on relevant scholarly aspects help the reader to appreci- ate the meaning and value of this Roadmap for contemporary judicial functioning in Member States of the European Union. Addressed aspects concern the legitimacy of judicial comparativ- ism and the methodological quality of the Roadmap. This analysis leads to a conclusion about the Roadmap’s potential to enhance the quality of judicial decision-making and support dialogues of courts with their foreign counterparts as well as with other legal and societal audiences.
