This volume presents a practical guide to reform and development of courts across Asia and the Pacific, offering a broad cross section of case studies and reflections and critically focussing on practical reform issues, rather than theory. They identify strengths and weaknesses of reform programmes in their countries (Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vanuatu). The contributors explore many issues, including gender justice, reduction of delays in case disposal, access to justice by marginalised groups, judicial integrity and accountability, judicial education and skills development, prioritizing "home grown" reform, domestic resource constraints, and management of foreign donors
