We all live in quantified societies, in which performances in an ever-growing array of fields–from education to health, work to credit, justice to consumption–are assessed and governed through quantitative techniques. While the disruption brought by the quantitative turn has been widely studied by social scientists, legal research on the issue is minimal. This book aims to fill the gap. The essays herein collected explore how performance measurements interact with the law in different regions and sectors, which legal effects they produce, and for whose benefit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables   Notes on Contributors   1 Quantification of Performance as a Regulatory Technique: An Introduction    Mauro Bussani, Sabino Cassese and Marta Infantino    Part 1  Justice and Education  2 Revisiting ‘Justice in Numbers’ in Brazil: Quantified Justice, Managerial Judges, and Numeroids as a Regulatory Technique    Pedro Rubim Borges Fortes    3 Performance-Based Evaluation in Mexico’s Federal Administrative Justice Tribunal and the Federal Judiciary Power: A Comparison    Luis José Béjar, Juan Antonio Casanovas and Carlos A.
