Innovation at courts happens
![Page 32: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
But not as much as elsewhere
What are main challenges for court leaders?
![Page 33: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1. THE ACCESS TO JUSTICE TRAP– Less delay, more effective and accessible
procedure = 0verburdened court– Little say over product and price
(procedure, fees)
2. Need for more HUMAN, less complex procedures
– Serving people with or without lawyers
3. Need to enhance neutrality, INDEPENDENCE, accountability
![Page 34: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Breakthroughs are possible!
Our report mentions 3 conditions for more effective courts
![Page 35: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
1. Excellent procedures require a vision
and clear terms of reference
![Page 36: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Examples of strategic options:
What should the procedure be able to achieve?
1. Excellent court of last resort?2. Excellence in solving legal issues? 3. Resolving problems in excellent way?
What does not work: Deciding on strategy by debate among judges
![Page 37: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The benefits of choice
• Focus, motivated people, easier management• Each option leads to clear but different
– Innovation goals and terms of reference, court size, skills, staffing, IT systems, links other adjudicators, partnerships, relationships with users, legal professionals, general public
• If courts do not choose, others will for them– Random politics, ministries, competing adjudicators
![Page 38: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
2. True excellence requires a very sophisticated funding model
![Page 39: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Funding models for courts: Huge barrier to innovation
Innovation > more value/less costs >more cases filed >
uncertain funding > risk of financial disaster > court leaders take no risk >
no innovation
![Page 40: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Good funding models within reach
• Innovation = lower costs + more value
• More willingness to pay• Sophisticated fee and funding
systems for specialized services
![Page 41: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
3. Courts take responsibility for design and maintenance of
procedures
![Page 42: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Rules of procedure arebarrier to innovation
Great principlesRules old, detailed, not updated
Innovation has to wait until rules changeJudges twist laws if they innovate
![Page 43: Trend report trialogue 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55628d9cd8b42a950c8b4959/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Because of risks, quality concernsHealth care innovations
Are certified/licensed/monitoredBUT NOT DESIGNED
By rule makers
