Strikingly\, common-law judic ial lawmaking routinely exemplifies these problems\, yet largely escapes c riticism for its retroactivity. Arguments justifying this difference amoun t to variations on one theme: lawmaking is simply not what courts are\, or should be\, doing\, and worrying about their decisions’ real-world retroa ctive effects is therefore beside the point.\n\nI challenge this view. Not only do appellate courts make law\, that is their primary function. Furth er\, if judge-made law is law more than in name only\, then certain logica l consequences follow. Chief among these is that retroactivity (and the pr oblems it creates) requires defending as much in judicial as in statutory lawmaking. My analysis suggests that such a defence is elusive\; more radi cally\, it also calls into question the precise relationship between lower and higher courts.\n\nTout le monde est invité à y assister.
