APPEAL RATE, REVERSAL RATE AND JUDICIAL EFFICIENCY

Abstract

The present paper explores how a study of the appealability rate and the reversal rate of a given court can reveal the procedural dynamics in any jurisdiction and point out solutions to improve the performance of the public adjudicative service. After discussing the law & economics logic of litigation, the methodology for estimating the referred rates is presented and an exploratory experiment is carried out with some cases of the TJDFT.
