Abstract
Baxi interrogates conventional ways of evaluating judges and judicial performance. The piece cautions against simplistic or moralistic assessments and emphasizes the complexity of judging within institutional, constitutional, and political constraints. It invites more nuanced frameworks for understanding judicial roles and responsibilities. In the Journal of the Indian Law Institute Vol. 25 No. 2. pg 211-237.
