Book excerpt: The Canadian Judicial Council has long been aware of the inefficiencies of the executive model of Court administration as well as the challenge it presents to the independence of the judiciary. [...] The Subcommittee believes the alternative the Report calls the "Limited Autonomy and Commission Model" will best achieve the goals set out in the terms of reference and what the Supreme Court of Canada refers to in the Remuneration Reference as the constitutional imperative of depoliticizing, to the extent possible, relations between the judiciary and other branches of government. [...] The models examined in this report address two kinds of relationships: 1. the relationship between the judiciary and the government-that is, the relationship that defines the accountabilities and responsibilities of the judiciary or "Court" 2 with respect to court administration policy and operations vis-à-vis the government or the Legislature, the Attorney General and/or the CEO of an independent [...] The second part of the discussion looks at possible institutional obstacles to change in the area of administrative autonomy, namely the federal and parliamentary structures of Canada in the context of the separation of powers. [...] However, the independence of the judiciary, the effectiveness and efficiency of the courts, and public confidence in the justice system requires an improved and robust model that ensures that jurisdictions take full advantage of more of the types of improvements that have already proven to be advantageous.

Download or read book Judicial Self Governance in the New Millennium written by Tim Bunjevac and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comparative study of judge-managed court systems across Australia, Europe and North America. This book makes an original contribution to the literature of court administration by providing a framework for examining court-service models of judicial councils, the policymaking bodies of courts and tribunals. This book promises to assist court administration scholars, judicial leaders, and policymakers in devising more effective organizational solutions to the contemporary challenges of judicial self-governance. The author Dr. Tim Bunjevac offers a nuanced elaboration of judicial accountability in court administration and a model institutional framework of court governance, comparing key Australian and international models of court administration, including the Australian Federal and two state court systems, Irish, English, Canadian and Dutch models. With a close case study, the author puts his sharpest focus on the Victoria, Australia, which introduced a judicial council in 2014. This book does an innovative job of proposing a new elaboration of judicial accountability in court administration. This book proposes that the likely success of any court system reform ultimately depends on the quality of the interaction between the courts, government, and other justice system stakeholders, which must be rooted in the concepts of organizational transparency and administrative accountability.

Download or read book Courts Justice and Efficiency written by Hector Fix-Fierro and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2003-12-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the socio-legal context of economic rationality in the legal and judicial systems. It examines the meaning and relevance of the concept of efficiency for the operation of courts and court systems,seeking to answer questions such as: in what sense can we say that the adjudicative process works efficiently? What are the relevant criteria for the measurement and assessment of court efficiency? Should the courts try to operate efficiently and to what extent is this viable? What is the proper relationship between 'efficiency' and 'justice' considerations in a judicial proceeding? To answer these questions, a conceptual framework is developed on the basis of empirical studies and surveys carried out mainly in the United States, Western Europe and Latin America. Two basic ideas emerge from it. First, economic rationality has penetrated the legal and judicial systems at all levels and dimensions, from the level of society as a whole to the day-to-day operation of the courts, from the institutional dimension of adjudication to the organizational context of judicial decisions. Far from being an alien value in the judicial process, efficiency has become an inseparable part of the structure of expectations we place on the legal system. Second, economic rationality is not the prevalent value in legal decision-making, as it is subject to all kinds of constraints, local conditions and concrete negotiations with other values and interests.
