Everyday Work in the Lower Courts

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Performance of judicial authority in the lower courts entails a surprisingly wide range of activities and tasks not previously documented empirically nor examined theoretically. Dominating all aspects of everyday judicial work in the lower courts is the intense workload demands, in terms of number of cases and the resulting time pressure on case processing. This caseload is dominated by criminal cases and is increasing in volume and complexity.
