'Hard times is a scalar description that can cover a wide range of states of affairs, from the erosion of "rule of law" legal and institutional settings to new challenges for the judiciary, such as the supranational practice of judging or political and social polarisation. This book offers detailed and insightful analysis of specific judicial virtues (judicial courage, lawfulness, empathy, independence, deliberative skills, fidelity), useful to face many of those risky situations. The exploration of these and other virtues is pioneering, accurate and well contextualized and proves how judicial virtues are important resources for the practice of law.'
