Abstract

This chapter considers the reach of judicial and state prosecutorial corruption. It starts with a review of what is judicial corruption, then, raises the possibility that independence itself is part of the problem of judicial corruption. This is followed by a discussion on the difference between extortion and bribery in the judiciary and how it can and does occur. I then reflect on the attempts to prevent judicial corruption before finally examining the avenue for potential corruption for prosecutors.
