Judicial Restraint vs Judicial Activism

The video discusses two opposing views on the role of appellate courts in law application: judicial restraint and judicial activism. Judicial restraint advocates for limited court intervention, leaving major legal changes to legislators. In contrast, judicial activism supports courts in adapting laws to reflect societal norms, especially when legislators are slow to act. The judiciary's role is to interpret laws in light of common societal beliefs.
