Judicial Policy Making

Judicial policy making refers to the process by which courts interpret laws and make decisions that can influence public policy. When judges rule on cases, especially those involving constitutional rights or federal regulations, their interpretations can set precedents that shape future laws and government actions. This means that judicial decisions can effectively create new policies or alter existing ones, impacting social issues like civil rights, environmental regulation, and healthcare. While judges do not create laws like legislatures, their rulings play a crucial role in how laws are applied and understood in society.
