Summary
In many contemporary societies, the institutions of civil justice have to deal with the challenge of increasingly conflicting social relations and the simultaneous decline in trust in public institutions. High litigation rates, excessive costs, falling public confidence and persistent demands for rights protection strain the judicial sector even in Europe and North America, where functioning legal systems are taken for granted and often used as models for developing countries.
