Does a justice system have a welfare function? If so, where does the boundary lie between justice and welfare, and where can the necessary resources and expertise be found? In a time of austerity, medical emergency, and limited public funding, this book explores the role of the family justice system and asks whether it has a function beyond decision-making in dispute resolution. Might a family justice system even help to prevent or minimise conflict as well as resolving dispute when it arises? The book is divided into 4 parts, with contributions from 22 legal scholars working across Europe, Australia, Argentina and Canada. - Part 1 looks at what constitutes a family justice system in different jurisdictions, and how a welfare element is included in the legal framework. - Part 2 looks at those engaged with a family justice system as professionals and users, and explores how far private ordering is encouraged in different countries. - Part 3 looks at new ways of working within a family justice system and raises the question of whether the move towards privatisation derives from the intrinsic value of individual autonomy and acceptance of responsibility in family disputes, or whether it is also a response to the increasing burden on the state of providing a welfare-minded family justice system. - Part 4 explores recent major changes of direction for the family justice systems of Australia, Argentina, Turkey, Spain, and Germany.

The editors' earlier book Delivering Family Justice in the 21st Century (2016) described a period of turbulence in family justice arising from financial austerity. Governments across the world have sought to reduce public spending on private quarrels by promoting mediation (ADR) and by beginning to look at digital justice (ODR) as alternatives to courts and lawyers. But this book describes how mediation has failed to take the place of courts and lawyers, even where public funding for legal help has been removed. Instead ODR has developed rapidly, led by the Dutch Rechtwijzer. The authors question the speed of this development, and stress the need for careful evaluation of how far these services can meet the needs of divorcing families. In this book, experts from Canada, Australia, Turkey, Spain, Germany, France, Poland, Scotland, and England and Wales explore how ADR has fallen behind, and how we have learned from the rise and fall of ODR in the Rechtwijzer about what digital justice can and cannot achieve. Managing procedure and process? Yes. Dispute resolution? Not yet. The authors end by raising broader questions about the role of a family justice system: is it dispute resolution? Or dispute prevention, management, and above all legal protection of the vulnerable? This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's International Arbitration online service.

La presente investigación versa sobre el estudio de la figura de la mediación; desarrollada desde la perspectiva de implementarse como solución alternativa de conflictos que otorgue las garantías constitucionales de la tutela efectiva de la justicia (tutela judicial efectiva; art. 24.1º CE). Para ello; verificamos si las actuales leyes de mediación españolas cumplen dentro de su articulado con los contenidos básicos establecidos por el Tribunal Constitucional sobre “tutela judicial efectiva ─TJE─” (ver los pronunciamientos del TC en la introducción al capítulo II); toda vez que defendemos que cualquier ley que reglamente una alternativa de resolución de conflictos no solamente debe respetar que las personas involucradas en el conflicto puedan acudir en cualquier momento al proceso judicial sino que dentro del articulado de la norma que la regule deben integrarse todos y cada uno de los contenidos básicos de la tutela efectiva de la justicia (actualmente; TJE) logrando así que se integren todas las vías legales de solución a los conflictos dentro de una sola Administración de la Justicia.

En el marco del I Congreso Internacional de Mediación Intrajudicial, celebrado en Zaragoza los días 22 a 24 de noviembre de 2017, y bajo el título «Mediación y tutela judicial efectiva: la Justicia del siglo XXI», se reunieron destacados profesores y expertos de la Magistratura, Universidades, Administraciones públicas y profesionales de la mediación para debatir sobre las relaciones entre la mediación, proceso judicial y Administración de Justicia, y también sobre otros temas de actual relevancia científica y práctica. Las ponencias ahora publicadas vislumbran la evolución de la mediación en España, en la que un impulso determinante ha de proceder de la Administración de Justicia, como sistema complementario de solución de conflictos, formando parte de la tutela judicial efectiva. La obra incluye también un amplio tratamiento de la mediación intrajudicial y de las experiencias y modelos (Murcia, País Vasco y Andalucía), con una especial referencia a Aragón. La progresiva implantación de la mediación origina también opiniones sobre su desarrollo, como la conveniencia, o necesidad, de la obligatoriedad de la mediación en un amplio abanico de posibilidades, incluyendo las experiencias de otros países comunitarios. Otros temas tratados son los dedicados a la mediación familiar en aspectos que necesitan una revisión o, al menos, una reflexión (autonomía de la voluntad, participación de menores, violencia de género o sustracción internacional de menores). La legislación autonómica de mediación es objeto también de estudio sobre el desarrollo, y límites, de la nueva legislación autonómica de «segunda generación» que supera el ámbito familiar, así como el discutido desarrollo legal de la formación de las personas mediadoras. El Congreso contó, además de con magníficas ponencias, con comunicaciones de elevado nivel académico teóricopráctico, que profundizan sobre aspectos concretos de la mediación. El valor y utilidad de la obra queda ya en manos del juicio del lector.

The promotion of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms is strongly linked to the idea of justice in the 21st century. National and international legislators increasingly offer new responses in this area, with the aim of providing citizens with the opportunity to resolve their disputes outside State courts. Indeed, the global notion of ADR includes a multiplicity of institutions which have in common the purpose of facilitating the settlement of disputes outside courts. However, such generic references to ADR mechanisms, as well as the perceived centrality of the European approach, obscure important differences in the use, regulation, and underlying philosophy of ADR in many countries of the world. This book focuses on a set of countries which accounts for more than half of international world trade. It examines the various ADR devices present in relevant countries, including the US, Australia, China, England, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the regulation of ADR in all these countries. Every chapter on national law analyzes subjects covered by ADR devices, the existing legal regime, and its solutions and problems. Written by leading practitioners and scholars, the book provides a clear image of the existing framework from a legal, theoretical, and practical standpoint. It will be essential for all those wanting to understand the reality of ADR in some of the most economically important countries of the world.

Globalization of legal traffic and the inherent necessity of having to litigate in foreign courts or to enforce judgments in other countries considerably complicate civil proceedings due to great differences in civil procedure. This may consequently jeopardize access to justice. This triggers the debate on the need for harmonization of civil procedure. In recent years, this debate has gained in importance because of new legislative and practical developments both at the European and the global level. This book discusses the globalization and harmonization of civil procedure from the angles of legal history, law and economics and (European) policy. Attention is paid to the interaction with private law and private international law, and European and global projects that aim at the harmonization of civil procedure or providing guidelines for fair and efficient adjudication. It further includes contributions that focus on globalization and harmonization of civil procedure from the viewpoint of eight different jurisdictions. This book is an unique combination of theory and practice and valuable for academic researchers in the area of civil procedure, private international law, international law as well as policy makers (national and EU), lawyers, judges and bailiffs.

Este estudio se adentra en una materia que afecta y atañe a todos los operadores jurídicos que ejercen en los tribunales. Una materia, la cual, en este estudio basa su desarrollo en la profunda conexión que atesora con la entrada en vigor de la LRJS en sustitución de la extinta LPL, y con el desarrollo que se produce con la entrada en vigor y desarrollo de la LNOJ.Una materia que empieza transcurriendo por la figura del nuevo modelo de secretario judicial y que posteriormente se adentra en la importancia del tratamiento por parte de los órganos judiciales de las deficiencias detectadas en los escritos iniciadores presentados ante ellos. Concretamente en la presentación del escrito de demanda, y entonces, ante dichos defectos, en la subsanación de los mismos.
