title = "The Danish Impeachment Court - an Outdated Institution?",
abstract = "The article describes the Danish model for impeachment of ministers: The Impeachment Court. It asks the question whether such an institution – a bastard between a judicial and a political body – has become outdated. States seem increasingly to abandon the use of impeachment courts, whether de jure or de facto. Even so, Denmark has seen a kind of “revival” of the Impeachment Court, which for long was considered obsolete. However, the similarities between the two most recent Danish cases indicate that the “system” learns little from impeachment cases. On this background, the article considers viable alternatives to Impeachment Courts when ministers need to be held accountable.",
