Kohtukorraldus

Kohtukorraldus refers to the organizational structure and administrative system of courts within a country's judiciary. It encompasses the various levels of courts, their jurisdictions, how cases are processed, and the roles of judges, court staff, and other legal professionals. The specific kohtukorraldus varies significantly between different legal systems and countries.

In many systems, kohtukorraldus includes a hierarchy of courts, typically starting with local or district courts for initial hearings and trials, followed by appellate courts for reviewing decisions, and culminating in a supreme court or constitutional court for final appeals and interpretation of law. The way these courts are organized, their geographical distribution, and the specialization of certain courts (e.g., family courts, commercial courts) are all part of the kohtukorraldus.

Furthermore, kohtukorraldus involves the administration of court resources, including budgeting, personnel management, and the use of technology. The efficiency and effectiveness of the judicial process are heavily influenced by how well the kohtukorraldus is designed and managed. This includes aspects like case management systems, the appointment and training of judges and staff, and the overall accessibility of justice to the public. Reforms to the kohtukorraldus often aim to improve fairness, speed, and public trust in the judicial system.
