New publication

Simple comparison of the number of judges per capita gives only limited information about relative judicial needs. As I show in a recently published article, one also must consider social, demographic, political and economic variables, as well as systemic differences between the judiciaries being compared.

The particular methodology applied in this paper has been developed as part of a project for assessing the need for judges in Georgia. The project was implemented by the East-West Management Institute, Inc. (EWMI) and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). I am grateful to EWMI and USAID, and to judicial counterparts in Georgia, for their collaboration and support, but note also that the views expressed herein are entirely my own.
