ABSTRACT

Chapter 10 outlines the potential for considering judicial pedagogies further in Europe and internationally. First, other issues connected to the ECtHR’s decisions in Europe are considered, and the value of reconsidering claims about political philosophies. Second, it identifies two other contexts for case law on education in which the courts develop judicial pedagogies, indicating that it is not limited to Europe. The initial example is from the US, in Jones v. Clear Creek Independent School District, about graduation prayers. The next is post-apartheid South Africa, in MEC for Education: Kwazulu-Natal and Others v. Pillay, about a Tamil heritage student’s nose-stud. Third, its more practical role in judicial education is explored, in setting out some suggestions for the issues and expertise that would aid judges in this area. Some final remarks consider the subsequent lives of the students and parents at the heart of these cases.
