Kritarchy

Kritarchy, also called kritocracy, was the system of rule by Hebrew Bible judges in ancient Israel. Since then multiple polities have existed where judges exercised control over the governance of the polity in one form or another. More recently commentators have warned of various democratic systems becoming systems where the judiciary in effect make political decisions over legislatures and executives.
