- Title
HUNGARIAN MIXED COURT WITHOUT REPRESENTATIVITY. AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH.
- Authors
Badó, Attila
- Abstract
A research group consisting of the authors of this study determined to carry out comprehensive empirical research on the opinions of lay assessors and professional judges in Hungary. Since such an endeavour had not taken place for more than fifty years, research was now aimed at detailing the system of lay judges. The commonly perceived negative view of lay assessor activities was thought to have been induced by myth, professional superiority and negative statements also similarly made in other countries rather than being based on the very views of those who actually had an insight as lay or professional judges into the effective functioning of the system. The objectives of that research were twofold: not only did they intend to convey a full picture of the current lay assessor system based on specialist literature, legislation analysis and the opinions of lay and professional judges, but they also brought forward de lege ferenda proposals to the legislator if it was so desired. This study analyses one of the basic questions that goes to the heart of lay participation in dispensing justice: the problem of selection and representativity.
