| description | <p>At the Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia, concepts of judicial performance and evaluation are relatively new. Responding to modern expectations for increased judicial accountability for their performance, Victorian judges have engaged a number of court–led evaluation and measurement tools aimed at improving judicial performance both inside and outside the courtroom. These include the Court Craft judicial education programme, the Report on Government Services performance indicators and the International Framework for Court Excellence. This article discusses how the Supreme Court of Victoria obtained judicial acceptance of the value of these tools in the Australian constitutional and institutional context. It highlights programme design aspects, including the importance of judicial involvement in programme development.</p> <hr /><p>En la Corte Suprema de Victoria, Australia, los conceptos de rendimiento y evaluación judicial son relativamente nuevos. En respuesta a las expectativas modernas de una mayor responsabilidad judicial por el desempeño de sus funciones, los jueces de Victoria han integrado un número de herramientas de evaluación y medición dirigidas a mejorar el desempeño judicial, tanto dentro como fuera de la sala. Estas herramientas incluyen el programa de educación judicial Court Craft, los indicadores de rendimiento del Informe sobre Servicios del Gobierno y el Sistema Internacional para la Excelencia de los Tribunales. Este artículo analiza cómo obtuvo la Corte Suprema de Victoria la aceptación judicial del valor de estas herramientas, en el contexto constitucional e institucional de Australia. Se destacan aspectos como el diseño del programa, incluyendo la importancia de la intervención judicial en el desarrollo del programa.</p> <p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN</strong>: <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2536304" target="_blank">http://ssrn.com/abstract=2536304</a></p> |
