New selection systems, higher salaries, guaranteed tenure, ethical training, courtroom automation and improved monitoring and discipline have all been tried at one point or another – with variable rates of success. Linn Hammergren compares the judicial reform of four Latin American countries since the 1980s, focusing on the contrasting roles of Supreme Court and judicial council as the organising power behind the judiciary. Oluyemi Osinbajo describes efforts to rebuild the integrity of the judiciary in Lagos state after 30 years of neglect under Nigeria’s military dictators. In China, the authorities are increasingly aware of the need for an independent and apolitical justice system to meet the demands of the 21st century, but are still uncertain of how much power to cede. Finally, Fabrizio Sarrica and Oliver Stolpe examine attempts by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime to strengthen the rural justice sector in Indonesia, Nigeria and South Africa."(pg 138)Pages: 32engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercorruptionoption for the poorcrimePolitical ethicsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsGovernance and ethicsBook chapter
