Dissatisfaction with the working of courts is ubiquitous. Legal
inertia and maladministration are the norm in many countries and
have significant social and economic repercussions. No longer a
theme relegated to the peripheries of economic analysis, the
administration of justice is now recognised by most economists as
being of fundamental importance for economic development, a factor
increasingly being acknowledged by policymakers at all levels. The
departure point for this book is the authors' belief in the need
for a systematic analysis of the incentive structures facing key
players in the courts and litigation process. They focus not only
on structures pertaining to the common law tradition, but offer
analysis of issues not normally found in the North-American
literature, such as the Latin notary and the selection and values
of judges in civil law systems. They further propose an ample list
of considerations for a reform agenda.Offering a comprehensive look
at the incentives facing many key players in the administration of
justice, this book should be of great interest to law and economics
scholars, civil law professors, legal reformers, international
development institutions and law students mindful of the need to
improve the functioning of courts.
