| "An
ethical court system will be one that is self-reflective, with
an agreed purpose and set of outcomes and approcaches, along
with a strong understanding that these outcomes/goals/approaches
will be in conflict with each other from time to time. And it
will have processess for reconciling these conflicts in a transparent
manner and taking account of the various stakeholders of the
system.
An ethical organization is so because the people who
make it up choose to be that way. Your court system will reflect
the people who make it up. It is they who must work to change
the way the system operates and is perceived. Some work can
be done by regulation but this will not be enough by itself
to create an ethical system."
