Abstract

In the debates about court management and court administration, the recurring question is how the interaction between organizational functioning and judges may evolve, both from a judicial impartiality and independence value perspective and a (democratic) accountability perspective. Effectiveness and efficiency are implied here. Also in those respects, performance measurement and management for courts and judges is complicated by the paradox described above. Therefore, a principled question is: is it possible to conduct performance management in a judiciary without putting too much pressure on judges so that content and outcomes of judicial decision making are being influenced? And if so, how?
