This paper is a part of the U.S. Chapter of Transparency International’s ad hoc working group on judicial integrity. Hammergren was asked by Transparency International to develop a checklist for evaluating the transparency and related aspects of judicial performance, suggest how it might be applied, and discuss its use to promote judicial reform. This is not primarily a research tool, but is intended to promote reform programs. It is thus aimed at a diverse audience of national governments and judiciaries, their citizens, foreign and domestic investors, assistance agencies, and other potential reform constituents. As a result, it targets common areas of interest and understanding. It must be suitable for global application and not be written with any specific legal system or tradition in mind, but should capture certain universal factors that would help identify real of potential problems in judicial operations. This paper tries to develop said list with all of those criteria in mind. |
