Call for Chapters
Proposals Submission Deadline: February 28, 2015
Full Chapters Due: June 30, 2015 […]The aim of this book is […] to introduce the concept of open justice and to identify and analyze worldwide initiatives that focus on opening the judiciary by making it more transparent, more collaborative and more participative. This is important for open justice is not a new concept. Common Law has traditionally linked it to transparency and public scrutiny in order to guarantee the proper functioning of the courts and the opening of information to the general public. This book goes beyond this classical definition of open justice and intends to apply the three open government principles (transparency but, also, collaboration and participation) to the justice field.
Our ultimate goal is to show that an open government is not enough. We need to talk about an open state and, therefore, to make sure, we guarantee openness in the three state’s branches. No other publication has approached open government from the state perspective emphasizing the need to also have an open justice. […]
Target Audience
This book will be useful to politicians, judges and public sector officials (mainly those working in the judiciary) who need a convenient source of information on what open justice is and what it can do for opening the state and improving governance and democracy and on what it is being done around the world, to leaders and consultants who liaise with judicial agencies to design and implement open justice initiatives, to practitioners within the justice field (such as lawyers), and to academicians, researchers and students interested in the field of open justice in particular and open government in general.
Recommended Topics
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The role of ICT in opening the judiciary
