European Judicial Systems - Efficiency and Quality of Justice (Paperback, 2008th edition)

The new edition of the report of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ), comprising new data for 45 European states, provides the Council of Europe with a real snapshot of justice in Europe. The methods developed by the CEPEJ to monitor judicial systems have collected, processed and analysed thousands of quantitative and qualitative data. This report, which is intended for policy makers, legal practitioners and researchers as well as for those who are interested in the functioning of justice in Europe, provides comparative tables and analysis of key indicators including: public spending on the judicial system, the legal aid system, the organisation of jurisdictions, judicial personnel, length of proceedings, and lawyers and notaries.
