Judicial Advocacy

Judicial advocacy refers to the efforts by judges or legal professionals to promote certain interpretations, policies, or legal principles through their decisions and reasoning. It involves shaping the development of the law by emphasizing specific perspectives, values, or societal goals in court rulings. While judges must remain impartial, judicial advocacy recognizes that their interpretations can influence policy and legal evolution, often reflecting broader societal or constitutional considerations. It balances the duty of impartiality with the role of courts in guiding legal standards and addressing complex social issues.
