Abstract

Many countries around the world are engaged in judicial reform as part of a wider effort to make state institutions more responsive to the needs of citizens, market requirements, and protection of the social fabric. Recognizing that the quality of judges is crucial for a well-functioning judiciary, this article discusses a number of key determinants of judicial quality, ranging from how judges are selected to how they are trained, compensated, evaluated, and disciplined. Judge Oxner draws on her 25 years of experience as a judge and her international expertise in teaching and advising on judicial reform initiatives to present these elements in light of prevailing international standards and the experience of a variety of countries. Suggestions for improvement of current practices are made throughout the text Because of the pernicious influence of corruption, the article also considers the types and causes of judicial corruption and offers a prescription for its reduction.
