Is Adjudication A Public Good? "Overcrowded Courts" and the Private Sector Alternative of Arbitration

Authors

Stephen J. Ware, University of Kansas

Abstract

Courts are underfunded, dockets are crowded, and litigation is slow. These observations lead many lawyers and judges to call for increased court funding. While I would like to see a significantly higher percentage of government spending go to courts, I do not believe that is likely to happen. So I suggest we think about "underfunded" courts differently.
