She emphasizes the value of simplicity in design commensurate with country capacity, the importance of innovation and experimentation, and of economic openness in effective institution-building. The author underscores how the incentives of individuals depend on both the details of institutional design within the judiciary and also some critical institutions external to the judiciary. Finally she argues for the need to ground reform initiatives on a solid empirical and comparative approach. The author illustrates some of these issues by drawing on a recent project conducted by the World Bank and other institutions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO JUSTICEADJUDICATIONALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTIONARBITRATIONBANKRUPTCYCERTAIN EXTENTCOMMERCIAL COURTSCOMMON LAWCONTRACT LAWCOURT PERFORMANCECOURT REFORMCOURTSDEBTDISPUTE SETTLEMENTECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC FACTORSECONOMIC REFORMEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEENVIRONMENTAL RISKEXPENDITURESGNPGOVERNMENT REGULATIONSINCOMEINJUNCTIONSINSTITUTION BUILDINGINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL CHANGEINTERNATIONAL NORMSJUDGESJUDGMENTSJUDICIAL DECISIONSJUDICIAL EFFICIENCYJUDICIAL PERFORMANCEJUDICIAL REFORMJUDICIAL SYSTEMJUDICIAL SYSTEM REFORMJUDICIAL SYSTEMSJUDICIARYJURISDICTIONJURISPRUDENCEJUSTICEJUSTICE SYSTEMLAWYERSLEGAL EDUCATIONLEGAL INSTITUTIONSLEGAL SERVICESLEGAL SYSTEMSMEDIAMEDIATIONPOLICEPROPERTY RIGHTSRESOLUTION OF DISPUTESSTATE INSTITUTIONSTRIBUNALSWAGES INSTITUTIONAL REFORMJUDICIAL REFORMINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINNOVATIONSINSTITUTION BUILDINGCOMPARATIVE ANALYSISCOURTSCOURT ADMINISTRATIONJUDICIAL SYSTEMSJUDICIAL SYSTEM REFORMCIVIL LAW SYSTEMSCOMMON LAWTRADITIONAL SOCIETYCUSTOMARY LAWJUDICIAL PROCESSPROCEDURAL DEVELOPMENTEFFICIENCYENFORCEMENT POWERSALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTIONCORRUPT PRACTICESLEGAL REQUIREMENTSEVIDENCE (LAW)JUDICIAL REVIEWWAGESINSTITUTIONAL REFORM10.1596/1813-9450-3134
