Det svenska nämndemannasystemet har en nästan tusenårig tradition, men har samtidigt varit ett institut i ständig förändring, vars roll förändrats väsentligt från när det först infördes i Sveriges rättskipning, till dagens moderna system.

Den territoriellt förankrade politiken har sin grund i suveränitetsprincipen som idag alltmer får stå tillbaka för de globala förändringsprocesser som har präglat vår omvärld de senaste decennierna. Judikaliseringen är en av dessa processer där allt fler politiskt viktiga frågor avgörs av domstolar och andra judiciella organ istället för av politiska instanser.
