REBUILDING JUSTICE
Civil Courts in Jeopardy and Why You Should Care

By Rebecca Love Kourlis and Dirk Olin

Authors Rebecca Love Kourlis and Dirk Olin tell the story of a civil justice system that has become alarmingly expensive, politicized, and time-consuming, degrading it to the point that it no longer meets the legitimate needs of the people it was created to serve.

Rebuilding Justice gives citizens and civil servants alike permission (and a roadmap) to write a new ending to the story—one that employs practical and empowering solutions to improve the efficiency, accessibility, and integrity of America's civil courts.
 

FOREWORD BY JUSTICE SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR (RET.)

"We are blessed with many excellent judges and court staff around the country, in both the federal and state systems. But, they and all the rest of us have an obligation to work hard to improve the system so that it is both impartial and accountable and so that it provides just and efficient resolution of cases. It is a duty that falls to all citizens, not just to judges and lawyers. This book should be of interest to individuals committed specifically to the health of the courts, and more broadly to the health of our democratic system. (More)
