    Series Statement: Law and Justice Study
    Content: The costs and long duration of court proceedings can be discouraging, and for the poor and micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) it can preclude access to justice entirely. According to the latest CEPEJ data, in 2014 disposition time of first instance civil and commercial litigious cases ranged from 97 days in Lithuania to 532 in Italy, with an overall EU average of 250 days.2 Costs (comprising both lawyer and court fees) can sometimes be greater than the value of the claim. Legislators around the world have long recognized that disputes concerning smaller claims may not require the same complex procedures and rules; instead, they can be resolved in a cheaper and more efficient manner. Although small claims procedure is not a new phenomenon and has existed for decades, it has only recently gained traction. Factors such as popular demand spur more and more countries into looking for new and faster ways to deal with smaller claims, as citizens are looking for simpler, ICT-enabled ways to resolve smaller disputes. This report provides a comparative analysis of small claims procedure in the 28 EU Member States, including lessons learned and good practices, to inform EU members and candidate countries looking to introduce or reform their small claims procedure. It considers a number of dimensions, namely: court fees, thresholds, institutional set-up, use of technology, the role of lawyers, lawyer fees, and avenues of appeal

    Content: Discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people is widespread, and LGBTI exclusion from economic markets, vital services, and political spaces is entrenched. This is not just an individual problem; it is a development challenge; not only because discrimination is inherently unjust, but also because "there are substantial costs-social, political, and economic-to not addressing the exclusion of entire groups of people." Understanding the barriers LGBTI people face in accessing markets, services, and spaces is important for designing more inclusive policies and programs. This study documents, for the first time, discrimination against LGBTI people in access to education and housing in Serbia, using evidence from field experiments. In Serbia, "feminine boys," widely perceived as being gay, were at least three times more likely to be refused enrollment in primary schools (15 percent) compared to boys not perceived to be feminine (5 percent). Eighteen percent of same-sex couples were refused apartment rentals by private landlords, while no heterosexual couples were. The research contributes to the growing body of evidence on the economic dimensions of LGBTI discrimination

    Content: This report aims at identifying the particular needs and constraints faced by the poorest women and men when accessing the judicial system. Similarly to the Judicial Functional Review,6 the scope of this report focuses primarily on the courts because they are the main vehicle for justice service delivery and the primary institutions of justice in Serbia. The scope includes all types of services and covers litigious and non-litigious aspects of civil, commercial, administrative, and criminal justice. The focus is on the actual implementation and day-to-day functioning of the sector institutions that deliver justice to people, rather than the law on the books . The scope includes other institutions in the sector to the extent that they enable or impede service delivery by the courts, including: the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the High Judicial Council (HJC), the State Prosecutorial Council (SPC), the courts, the Public Prosecutor Offices (PPOs), the Judicial Academy, the Ombudsperson s Office, the police, prisons, and justice sector professional organizations (such as the Bar, notaries, bailiffs, and mediators). The focus of this report is on access to justice services, including relevant financial, informational, and geographic barriers to such access.

    Comparative Analysis of Bar Associations and Law Societies in Select European Jurisdictions (2017)

    Content: As some of European Union’s (EU’s) neighboring countries are about to embark on EU accession negotiations, they are looking to reform their justice systems to align them with EU standards. This report on the role and powers of bar associations in selected EU member states (old and new EU members), and candidate countries has been drawn up with the purpose of informing the relevant policy process in those countries. Bar associations play a fundamental role in regulating and ensuring the efficiency, quality, and access of legal services to citizens and businesses. This report focuses on select aspects and powers of bar associations, namely: the bar and the legal profession; what are the conditions for entrance to the bar; the decision-making bodies of the bar, their competences, and relation; administrative capacities of the bar and services they are providing; inter-bar relations in countries where there are several bar associations; the fee structure for lawyers and fees in general; fees for legal aid and mandatory defense and their structure; complaints mechanisms against lawyers who are members of the bar; disciplinary procedure and measures against lawyers; and external supervisory power over the bar. The countries selected for the comparative analysis are: Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, England and Wales, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Serbia, and Spain. This analysis was conducted from May 2016 to January 2017, based on desk research, interviews with Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE), a questionnaire completed by the relevant national bar associations (with the exception of Serbia), and consultations organized by CCBE in September 2016
