Report on Guiding Principles for Effective Case Management
To have the necessary moral authority the criminal justice system must protect the rights of the accused, including the right to disclosure and a fair trial, and it must resolve matters effectively. Effectiveness is not mere efficiency or cost cutting. It is ensuring that every step of the process contributes to a just result by working the way it is intended to work, without waste. Management of cases that go to trial is part of this. This paper identifies five basic principles that can contribute to the effective handling of cases.
