Judicial scholars recognize that judicial legitimacy, independence, and democratic consolidation are objectives for both emerged and emergent judicial institutions and that different constitutional traditions affect judicial institutions accomplishment of these objectives. One way to high-light the significant effect of constitutional traditions is to examine how an emergent judicial institution reacts to the challenges faced by an emerged judicial institution. An inference that can be drawn from this examination is that the response of a mature judiciary-like that of the United States-to the challenges of articulating the judicial role and maintaining judicial legitimacy is not necessarily a useful lesson for an emergent judiciary-like that of Estonia-in addressing similar challenges.
