Judicial system performance and economic development

The role of judicial systems in determining economic perfonnance has gained increasingly attention in recent years. Nonetheless, the literature lacks a clearly articulated framework to examine how judicial systems influence the investment and production decisions of economic agents. This paper tries to till in this gap. It examines what constitutes a well-functioning judiciary, analyzes how dysfunctional judicial systems compromise economic growth, and reviews the relevant empirical literature. It concludes with some remarks about why, despite the widespread perception that well-functioning legal and judicial systems are key to the success of market-oriented reforms in developing and transition countries, judicial refonn has lagged so much behind other reforms.

Contemporary issues in Australian family law: Do we need a more unified and interventionist judicial model

Recent decisions of the Family Court of Australian reflect concerns over the adversarial nature of the legal process. The processes and procedures of the judicial system militate against a detailed examination of the issues and rights of the parties in dispute. The limitations of the family law framework are particularly demonstrated in disputes over the custody of children where the Court has tended to neglect the rights and interests of the primary carer. An alternative "unified family court" framework will be examined in which the Court pursues a more active and interventionist approach in the determination of family law disputes.

A judicialização das políticas públicas de telecomunicações e as demandas dos consumidores: o impacto da ação judicial

A tese parte da seguinte hipótese: a intervenção judicial possibilita a alteração das políticas regulatórias, tendo por base o caso das telecomunicações no Brasil. O primeiro capítulo descreve o processo de privatização do setor regulado e a formação de um novo ambiente empresarial, com destaque para a organização de um sistema legal e regulamentar para possibilitar o funcionamento do novo sistema. O segundo capítulo mostra como é formada a doutrina jurídica, no campo do Direito Administrativo, que serviu de junção para o novo setor empresarial e as instituições regulatórias que surgiram, denominadas agências reguladoras. O terceiro capítulo focaliza a construção institucional das agências reguladoras, bem como os dilemas institucionais que a acompanharam. O quarto capítulo resenha o debate teórico sobre a judicialização da política, com foco nas políticas públicas, bem como analisa as ações diretas de inconstitucionalidade, ajuizadas com o objetivo de paralisar a privatização. O quinto capítulo detalha a insurgência dos consumidores, em um movimento de base que permitiu a alteração regulamentar no topo. O último narra o Projeto Expressinho, uma proposta para o estabelecimento desta seara jurisdicional por um meio alternativo de resolução de conflitos. As considerações finais evidenciam que foram introduzidas características do modelo de direito responsivo, que é descrito por Nonet e Selnick. A conclusão é que os traços de responsividade no sistema político e judicial brasileiro tendem a aprofundar este tipo de intervenção, tendo se mostrado como um canal mais efetivo para a permeabilidade social do que o eram as propaladas audiências e consultas públicas.

Criminal justice system in pondicherry - a comparative critical study of the past and the presen

The Union Territory of Pondicherry prior to its merger with the Indian Union was a French Colony. The erstwhile territory of Pondicherry along with its hamlets, namely, KARAIKKAL, MAHE and YANAM was administered by the French Regime. Before it was established by French in 1 6 74 A.D. it was part of Vijayanagara Empire. Prior to this, Pondicherry was a part of the Kingdom of Chola and Pallava Kings. During French Regime, the laws which were in force in France in relation to administration of civil and criminal justice were extended to the erstwhile Territory of Pondicherry. Thus while Pondicherry stood influenced by the Inquisitorial system since the beginning of the 18th century, the neighboring states forming part of the Indian Union since Independence came under the Influence of the British system, viz. accusatorial system. The territory of Pondicherry, for administrative reasons, came to be merged with the Indian Union in the early 60's. Following the merger, the Indian administration sought to extent its own laws from time to time replacing erstwhile French Laws, however, subject to certain savings. Thus the transitional period witnessed consequential changes in the administration of the territory, including the sphere of judicial system. Since I 963, the Union Territory of Pondicherry was brought under the spell of the Indian Legal System The people in Pondicherry ' thus have had the benefit of experiencing both the svstems. Their experiences will be of much help to those who undertake comparative studies in law. The plus and minus points of the respective systems help one to develop a detachment that helps independent evaluation of the svstents. The result of these studies could be relevant in revitalising our criminal systems.The present system is evaluated in the light of the past system. New dimensions are added by way' of an empirical study also.

¿Es posible la coordinación entre el Sistema Judicial Nacional y la Jurisdicción Indígena en Colombia? : aportes para un diálogo intercultural e interjurisdiccional

En cuanto que las minorías étnicas son reconocidas constitucionalmente, se encuentra un ambiente propicio para lograr con éxito la necesidad de reconocer a los pueblos indígenas como una cultura diferenciada, razón por la cual, constitucionalmente se otorgó status constitucional a su propio sistema de impartir justicia, es decir, su sistema judicial, al punto que es el artículo 246 de la Constitución Política así lo consagra, siendo de ésta manera como se hizo improrrogable hacer efectivo un mecanismo que permita el funcionamiento armónico de la jurisdicción especial indígena y Sistema Jurídico Nacional. Por ésta razón el presente trabajo investigativo, se desarrollará con base en los resultados arrojados por el proyecto Extensión de la coordinación del Sistema Judicial Nacional (SJN) y la Jurisdicción Especial Indígena (JEI), exponiendo una serie de componentes y elementos jurídicos que pretenden analizar la problemática de coexistencia de culturas jurídicas diferentes, en el marco del Estado Social de Derecho, con base en el pluralismo jurídico, diversidad cultural e interculturalismo.
