Reforming Justice

Adequate budgeting of the judiciary is critical for the effective delivery of justice. This brief presents trends in judicial budgets. Courts account for less than 2 percent of total government expenditure on average, with significant portions dedicated to fixed costs such as salaries, thereby limiting investments in technological advancements essential for improving judicial efficiency. This brief identifies three major trends in judicial budgeting reforms: increasing autonomy for the judiciary in budget management, accountability for budget execution at the court level, and a shift toward performance-based budgeting models. These reforms aim to bolster the judiciary's operational efficiency and public perception, ultimately linking adequate judicial funding to enhanced social and economic outcomes. The findings emphasize the necessity for judicial leaders to continuously advocate for resources by demonstrating the judiciary’s integral role in maintaining law and order, promoting democracy, and fostering societal stability.
