Judicial communication beyond the US

How courts communicate, whether to political elites or the general public, has important implications for their ability to effectively fulfill judicial functions in the face of concerns like judicial legitimacy and compliance. Around the world, courts have adopted a variety of strategies and tactics to connect with their audiences, with varying degrees of success and efficacy. In this chapter, I work from a comparative perspective to focus on two key forms of judicial communication: the use of procedures like oral arguments and institutional developments like the establishment of media relations offices and the use of digital communication. I briefly conclude the chapter with a discussion of two considerations for future research.
