Highlights
Caseload backlogs and the quality of judicial decision-making have attracted worldwide scholarly attention for quite some time.[2]
This article offers an economic analysis of the incentive stream of the continental judiciary, suggests several alternative inducement mechanisms to improve continental judicial performance and effectiveness, and provides an economic assessment of the proposed Finnish Quality Benchmarks and related provisions in several other continental countries
Since it is not possible to cover all aspects of judicial performance, effectiveness and the quality of rulings, this article merely focuses on the judicial incentive stream and omits economic comment on the types of salary, quality standards, the exact time of promotions, the question of judicial independence and so on – issues which go well beyond the scope of this article
Summary
Caseload backlogs and the quality of judicial decision-making have attracted worldwide scholarly attention for quite some time.[2] The triggering issue is the observed persistence of backlogs alongside the quest for improvement in judicial decision-making. This is especially true since many countries, while trying to cope with this challenging issue, continue to enact regulatory provisions that seemingly improve the judiciary. This article offers an economic analysis of the incentive stream of the continental judiciary, suggests several alternative inducement mechanisms to improve continental judicial performance and effectiveness, and provides an economic assessment of the proposed Finnish Quality Benchmarks and related provisions in several other continental countries. Since it is not possible to cover all aspects of judicial performance, effectiveness and the quality of rulings, this article merely focuses on the judicial incentive stream and omits economic comment on the types of salary, quality standards, the exact time of promotions, the question of judicial independence and so on – issues which go well beyond the scope of this article
