Introduction

The information age provides novel tools for case management. While technology plays a crucial role, the way in which courts are structured still maintains a critical role in ensuring effective case management. The correlation between court structure and case management is a pivotal topic. The existing debate concentrates predominantly on the micro and case-specific aspects of case management, without further inquiry into the relationship between court structure, court management, and case management. The contributions within this volume fill this gap from a comparative perspective, undertaking a macro/structural and sub-macro perspective of procedure and case management.keywordcomparative civil procedurecourt organisationcourt structurecourt managementcase management.
