{"product_id":"civil-justice-privatization-and-democracy-4","title":"Civil Justice, Privatization, and Democracy","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrivatization is occurring throughout the public justice system, including courts, tribunals, and state-sanctioned private dispute resolution regimes. Driven by a widespread ethos of efficiency-based civil justice reform, privatization claims to decrease costs, increase speed, and improve access to the tools of justice. But it may also lead to procedural unfairness, power imbalances, and the breakdown of our systems of democratic governance. \u003cem\u003eCivil Justice, Privatization, and Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the urgent need to publicize, politicize, debate, and ultimately temper these moves towards privatized justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by Trevor C.W. Farrow, a former litigation lawyer and current Chair of the Canadian Forum on Civil Justice, \u003cem\u003eCivil Justice, Privatization, and Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e does more than just bear witness to the privatization initiatives that define how we think about and resolve almost all non-criminal disputes. It articulates the costs and benefits of these privatizing initiatives, particularly their potential negative impacts on the way we regulate ourselves in modern democracies, and it makes recommendations for future civil justice practice and reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Trevor C.W.
