Judicial Capture

Judicial Capture is a form of regulatory capture in which a court or judicial system, as a decision-making body, becomes aligned with the interests of a particular group—typically powerful economic actors—through mechanisms such as ideological influence, institutional pressure, or strategic appointment, thereby distorting legal interpretation and adjudication to favor that group over the public interest.
