THE AMERICAN INNS OF COURT
Written by Hon. J. Clifford Wallace

I have been working with judicial systems outside the United States for 35 years. I have worked directly with about 60 countries and indirectly through conferences with many more. From this experience, I have concluded that there are needs in developing countries which are not dissimilar to needs in developed countries. I write concerning one of these today: a program which can make the judicial system of each country more efficient and effective.
In all countries, reliance is placed on lawyers to develop and present a case on behalf of a litigating party. This is perhaps more critical in a common law country, but is still of significance in a civil law context.
