⚖️ What makes people #Trust constitutional courts?
Using Spain after the Catalonia ruling, Pablo Castillo-Ortiz & @rosanavarrete.bsky.social show that judicial independence and technocratic qualities matter more for trust than how judges are politically appointed
New Research out 📢
In "Citizens' trust in Constitutional Courts: Evidence from Spain" at @epsrjournal.bsky.social Pablo Castillo-Ortiz and I provide an input of empirical evidence into theoretical debates on the design of Constitutional Courts. Check it here:
