Abstract
Professor Currie's article [See David P. Currie, "Separating Judicial Power", 61 LAW & CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS 7 (Summer 1998) ] discusses historical attempts to limit judicial independence. I consider the converse: how judges have exercised their independence. This essay provides a brief historical overview of judges using their independence to implement their own view of justice, often contrary to both popular sentiment and legislative will.
