Abstract / Excerpt:

For justice to be within reach of every person, it is not enough that the members of the Judiciary be fearlessly committed to the rule of law. That commitment must be matched by a sustained effort to improve the competence and efficiency of the entire judicial machinery so that justice can be done quickly, inexpensively and fairly. In plain terms, the judicial reform agenda by the reforming government must focus on a judicial system that not only adheres to the supremacy of the rule of law but also promotes the ends of social justice, served by morally upright and competent judges and lawyers, through an efficient court system.
