Research Abstract |
Judicial discretion is by definition amorphous. This funded study analyzed the equitable jurisdiction of the Anglo-American judges in the context of case management in the resolution of civil matters. Although developed over the years on the common jurisdiction of English equity, the practices of discretionary case management in these two jurisdictions show some contrasting patterns. The analysis of those patterns have been published through eight articles, four presentation, and two books.
