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.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Efficiency in the Administration of Criminal Justice Address: Before the New York State Bar Association, January 12 Very little progress has been made, however, in this direction. Less has been said, but much more accomplished during the last ten year period in the reorganization of our judicial establishment, especially in the large cities of the country. Beginning with Boston - Chicago, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cleveland,, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and New York City, in its Magistrates Courts, have reorganized their city courts. Such organization has been found necessary because the need has been first felt in the city. A city court must deal with a great volume of litigation; it must enforce numerous police regulations made necessary by conditions of city life; it must enforce the criminal law where crime flourishes. To do this effectively, numerous tribunals must be established. These must be organized in order to avoid the waste of judicial power, save time, promote efficiency of administration, and economy of expenditure. The earlier court system of the United States was adopted at a time when the thirteen states had no greater population than New York City has today. In the pioneer days, a judge was assigned to a county or to a district. He handled all sorts of litigation, civil and criminal, and traveled from county to county holding terms of court. Litigated cases were simpler in their nature. As population and wealth increased, and cities developed, the legal problems became more intricate and more important questions were involved. The tendency was to establish numerous distinct, unrelated courts. As judicial power developed to meet expanding human needs, portions of it were from time to time parceled out to newly created tribunals. In the formative period of the American state judicial system we went a great way to correct this primitive looseness of structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper no. 430.QUOTEMany countries are undertaking legal and judicial reforms as part of their overall development programs; there is increasing recognition that economic and social progress requires consolidation of democracy as well as respect for the rule of law and human rights; without these development is not sustainable.QUOTEMany developing countries find that their judiciaries are inconsistent in conflict resolution and carry a large backlog of cases, thus stifling private-sector growth, eroding individual and property rights, and perhaps even violating human rights. Delays affect both the fairness and the efficiency of the system. They impede the public's access to the courts, which, in effect, weakens democracies, the rule of law and the ability to enforce human rights. This paper aims to describe and explain the performance of court systems in a sample of developing and developed countries in order to provide data to those designing or evaluating reforms. The study also seeks to show areas in which international comparison of judicial performance can be fruitful, suggesting indicators that can be used in such comparisons. Finally, it endeavors to provide comparisons of performance within individual countries over time.

Download or read book Over Efficiency in the Lower Criminal Courts written by Shaun S. Yates and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our pursuit of efficiency in the lower criminal courts, have we lost sight of quality justice? Through the critical examination of original stenographic data, this book demonstrates how an English Magistrates' courthouse often pursued managerial efficiency to the detriment of social justice and procedural due process values. Given that these courts process more than 95% of all criminal cases, this ‘over-efficiency’ problem has the capacity to cause significant social harm. Yates’ work concludes by providing socio-legal and criminological readers with ways to fix this over-efficiency problem. This accessible work is of value to policy makers and post-graduate students alike.
