The Case for Improved Causelists

“The Case for Improved Causelists” is a working paper that emphasises the vital role of causelists in the legal system and based on an analysis of causelists (High Courts and Supreme Court) and conversations with stakeholders, suggests changes that could be made to causelist design and comprehensiveness which can make them accessible and user-friendly. The paper seeks to spark conversations around often neglected issues within the legal system, such as the necessity for predictability in court hearing schedules, the need to challenge existing perceptions, and the need for practical solutions aimed at improving transparency, efficiency, and inclusivity in legal proceedings.
