Book Synopsis Lay Participation in Criminal Trials by : Sanja K. Ivkovich
Download or read book Lay Participation in Criminal Trials written by Sanja K. Ivkovich and published by Austin & Winfield Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary citizens have been a part of many decision-making bodies throughout history. In this important new study, Sanja Kutnjak Ivkovic examines development of various forms of lay participation in legal decision-making. She specifically focuses on the development of mixed tribunals in which professional and lay judges decide cases jointly. Primarily concerned with the nature of Croatian mixed tribunals, Ivkovic investigates recent trials, providing an in-depth look at the interaction among tribunal members. She presents a detailed analysis that determines how gender, age, occupational prestige, and education affect the perceived frequency and importance of lay judges' participation during trial and deliberation. Finally, she discusses the future of mixed tribunals and possible improvements to the system. Ivkovic's work is a timely contribution that will not only help readers understand recent events in Croatia but has the potential to improve the quality of any tribunal composed of professional and lay members.
Book Synopsis The Future of International Courts by : Avidan Kent
Download or read book The Future of International Courts written by Avidan Kent and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of World War II marked the beginning of a new golden era in international law. Treaties and international organisations proliferated at an unprecedented rate, and many courts and tribunals were established with a view to ensuring the smooth operation of this new universe of international relations. The network of courts and tribunals that exists today is an important feature of our global society. It serves as an alternative to other, sometimes more violent, forms of dispute settlement. The process of international adjudication is constantly evolving, sometimes in unexpected ways. Through contributions from world-renowned experts and emerging voices, this book considers the future of international courts from a diverse range of perspectives. It examines some of the regional, institutional and procedural challenges that international courts face: the rising influence of powerful states, the turn to populism, the interplay between courts, the involvement of non-state actors and third parties in international proceedings, and more. The book offers a timely discussion of these challenges, with the future of several international courts hanging in the balance and the legitimacy of international adjudication being called constantly into question. It should also serve as a reminder of the importance of international courts for the functioning of a rules-based international order. ‘The Future of International Courts’ is essential reading for academics, practitioners and students who are interested in international law, including those who are interested in the role international courts play in international relations.

Book Synopsis Expanding Access to Justice by : Paula Wojcikiewicz Almeida
Download or read book Expanding Access to Justice written by Paula Wojcikiewicz Almeida and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the repercussions of expanded participation in international judicial decision-making by investigating community interest issues. Focusing on the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the book reveals the growing involvement – formal and/or informal – of State and non-State actors (NSAs) in the ICJ’s contentious and advisory functions. This includes the participation of States, intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) and NSAs, i.e., non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and individuals. The book concentrates on the role and multifunctional character of international courts and tribunals (ICTs). As a component of the international governance structure, ICTs are equipped to protect, express and shape values that reflect community interests by the power granted them in international treaties. They can also be considered a key element for promoting the international rule of law, including the provision of global public goods. Public interest litigation is often used as a vehicle to advance human rights at the national and international level. As the main judicial organ of the UN, the participation of State and NSAs in ICJ proceedings is a subject of the utmost importance to international dispute settlement in general. The decisions delivered by the World Court can help to pursue community interests, for instance by setting internationally relevant precedents or concepts as obiter dicta. By applying an empirical research methodology to map ICJ practices concerning notifications, submissions and/or applications of State and NSAs, as well as other forms of submitting relevant information to the Court under the ICJ Statute and Rules, the book addresses the potential and limitations of expanded participation in the ICJ’s contentious cases and advisory proceedings. The analysis employs broad definitions of "participants" and "participation" in order to reflect the contemporary dynamics of the actors involved in international practice.

Book Synopsis Legitimacy and International Courts by : Nienke Grossman
Download or read book Legitimacy and International Courts written by Nienke Grossman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most noted developments in international law over the past twenty years is the proliferation of international courts and tribunals. They decide who has the right to exploit natural resources, define the scope of human rights, delimit international boundaries and determine when the use of force is prohibited. As the number and influence of international courts grow, so too do challenges to their legitimacy. This volume provides new interdisciplinary insights into international courts' legitimacy: what drives and undermines the legitimacy of these bodies? How do drivers change depending on the court concerned? What is the link between legitimacy, democracy, effectiveness and justice? Top international experts analyse legitimacy for specific international courts, as well as the links between legitimacy and cross-cutting themes. Failure to understand and respond to legitimacy concerns can endanger both the courts and the law they interpret and apply.

Book Synopsis Juries, Lay Judges, and Mixed Courts by : Sanja Kutnjak Ivković
Download or read book Juries, Lay Judges, and Mixed Courts written by Sanja Kutnjak Ivković and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although most countries around the world use professional judges, they also rely on lay citizens, untrained in the law, to decide criminal cases. The participation of lay citizens helps to incorporate community perspectives into legal outcomes and to provide greater legitimacy for the legal system and its verdicts. This book offers a comprehensive and comparative picture of how nations use lay people in legal decision-making. It provides a much-needed, in-depth analysis of the different approaches to citizen participation and considers why some countries' use of lay participation is long-standing whereas other countries alter or abandon their efforts. This book examines the many ways in which countries around the world embrace, reject, or reform the way in which they use ordinary citizens in legal decision-making.

Book Synopsis Amicus Curiae Before International Courts and Tribunals by : Astrid Wiik
Download or read book Amicus Curiae Before International Courts and Tribunals written by Astrid Wiik and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Amicus curiae participation in international courts and investment arbitration tribunals is increasing despite lack of clarity on the concept's nature, function and added value in international dispute settlement. The book examines the laws and practices of amicus curiae to assess the concept's status quo, and to determine if it meets the many expectations. Does it infuse proceedings with alternative views and the public interest? Does it increase the legitimacy and transparency of international dispute settlement, or the coherence of international law? Or does it derail the proceedings at the expense of the parties to advance its agenda? The book argues that neither the expectations nor the concerns attached to amicus curiae have materialized. It shows a hesitation by courts with a strong adversarial tradition to consider the views of non-parties, and argues that amicus curiae is not the best vehicle to present a public interest or increase legitimacy. However, it can improve judicial decisions and decision-making if regulated and used properly."--
