Judiciaries Worldwide: An Online Resource on Comparative Judicial Practice
Judiciaries Worldwide (JW) is a web-based resource developed to enrich ‘global justice sector’ literacy. The site explores comparative judicial practice, offering information and insights about the work of courts and judges around the world, differences in civil and criminal procedure, and the role of international institutions. National judiciaries have varied histories and legal cultures. JW explores their practices, systems, and institutions. The site presents information through summaries and graphics and includes references for more in-depth study. JW is not a repository for scholarly articles or critical analysis. It provides neutral, accessible and practical overviews, “just enough” to inform and inspire curiosity.
