Justice administration and management
Judicial systems can be thought of as complex organizations that provide public services such as, for example, healthcare and education.
This approach — which in Anglo-Saxon countries is defined as judicial administration — studies judicial systems, not only through the rules that define and regulate their structure and functioning, following the traditional legal-formal approach, but also analyzes and evaluates their effective functioning (organization and management), their effectiveness and efficiency, as well as the evolution through the study of innovation processes.
Therefore, this field of study focuses on the analysis of the structures, personnel and organizational processes that characterize the judicial offices in order to evaluate their functioning, improve their management, and have a definition of the proceedings with good quality decisions but in reasonable times, also adopting accountability mechanisms in compliance with the principle of independence.
