Summary
This introduction to Section 5 of the volume on judicial manuals and handbooks discusses the portrayal of Islamic legal judgeship (qaḍāʾ) in existing scholarship and comments on the transformation of the institution in the modern period with the rise of the nation-state and the tendency toward the codification of law, as well as including a representative bibliography of recent scholarship on the subject.
