Civil justice reform efforts in
industrial countries face common problems in increasing
access to justice and reducing costs and delays. A recent
survey examined problems with and reforms of civil justice
in 3 common law nations and 10 civil law countries. All
reported that the economic interests of the legal profession
explain many of the costs and delays in litigation and that
overcoming these interests is difficult. Both civil and
common law countries are resorting to greater judicial
control of litigation process to control lawyers and their
clients. There is the appearance of a new theory of civil
procedure: the resources devoted to resolving a dispute
should be proportionate to the interests involved and that
systemwide resources should be allocated fairly across all disputes. |
