Preferred term

associations of judges  

Definition

  • The idea of judges, who are government employees, to join together in associations is a modern notion associated with the political development of separation of governmental powers. Scholars question the existence of these organizations, their legitimacy and raison d'être, since judges supposedly defend no other interests than those of the law.
