Description 1 online resource (6 pages)
Summary Egypt's judiciary has played a central role in the country's transition since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. Ultimately, it fell to the judiciary to shape many aspects of the transition. In the legally murky climate of the past two years, judges drew fire from forces across the political spectrum, issuing decisions affecting the public perception of their objectivity. Recent developments have highlighted the animosity between the judicial branch, and the executive and legislative branches. The lack of trust between the judiciary and the government has contributed to the stalled transition and exacerbated political dysfunction within the government and between political parties
