Current Challenges in Court Administration (Hardcover)

Court administration, in a strict sense, encompasses the technical, organizational, and material conditions of court operation, while it, in a larger sense, concerns a great number of measures and activities connected with the functioning of the whole judicial system. This book aims at contextualizing the current trends in this respect by addressing the tensions between the independence of the judiciary, its accountability, and effectiveness. The contributors to this volume confront the legal measures accepted in states with stable democratic traditions, and in new democracies in Central and Eastern European states. Current Challenges in Court Administration will be a valuable source of reference for academics and students in constitutional law, as well as for lawmakers.
