Western scholars have argued that image making and image management are a preoccupation of the judiciary.Images of the judiciary may take a variety of forms and be produced for kinds of audiences.One form of judicial image making and image management is live performances in the courtroom and other court settings.Another is the written judgment where the preoccupation is the style of the written text.Press and other mass media reports of judicial activity are another.The audience for judicial images is equally diverse,from fellow judges,lawyers in the courts and the wider legal community,the litigants before the courts to the executive,legislature and the public both in the courtroom and beyond.The image of the judiciary that is available to the public has a particular significance in Western rule of law democracies.
