Towards a National Strategy for Judicial Accountability: A Critical Review in Jordan

Abstract

This paper examines the complex relationship between judicial accountability and judicial independence. In order to provide a framework for good governance in the Jordanian judiciary by identifying its main features and shortcomings in its work. The paper describes mechanisms for achieving accountability through various methods of judicial appointment and removal. But more important than these approaches, she says, is the idea of ensuring judicial accountability by insisting that judges are accountable to the law. The experience of the judiciary in Jordan over the past decades has clearly shown that the judicial administration needs a strategic vision based on efficiency, accountability, and integrity. The paper addresses in detail the challenges of judicial administration that need to be addressed through the implementation of a viable national strategy for judicial accountability
