| Efficiency of legal systems questioned - World Bank | |
| Most countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia need
to do much more to raise the efficiency of their judicial systems,
improve enforcement, and create stronger incentives for the
accountability of judges. They must also reduce case backlogs and tackle corruption in the region's judiciaries, according to a new World Bank report. The report, entitled Judicial Systems in Transition Economies: Assessing the Past, Looking to the Future, reviews efforts to transform legal institutions in transition countries since 1990 and assesses their current condition. The authors base their findings on surveys of citizens, lawyers, and enterprise managers throughout the region. |
