How to reach the conference
The
relationship between efficiency and the judiciary is relevant to economists, legal
scholars and policy makers. Sustainable development and health of national economic
systems crucially depend on the well functioning judiciary. Accordingly, over
the last years, there have been many attempts to improve various dimensions of
judicial process within national legal systems. Examples are to have judges
organize their own affairs via judicial councils, to make them accountable for
their use of time by introducing court calendars and so forth. On the other
hand the judiciary can equally represent the suitable solution for fostering
efficiency in distinct domains equally relevant for attaining the welfare. This
is the case for competition or regulatory innovation.This conference
deal with the conceptual foundations of the relationship between efficiency and
the judiciary, its single aspects, the consequences on economic development as
well as options and constraints for reform. They will also try to shed light on
the idiosyncratic features of the judicial process that can play a crucial role
in the advance of democratic societies. The venue aims
to contribute to academic progress and policy debate on the topic by gathering
a group of experts and have them discuss various aspects during a
two-and-a-half-day event at Collegio Carlo Alberto.The conference
will be concluded by a roundtable to which experts on judicial reform will
contribute. It is thus intended as a confrontation between theoretical insights
on the one hand and practical experience on the other.
