The individual studies, drafted by experts in the field, evaluated the judicial reform process in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Guatemala. Using these papers as points of reference, CSIS and CEJA brought together a group of distinguished experts in the field of legal reform in Latin America from universities, policy centers, civil society organizations, and the international financial institutions to analyze the current state of the administration of justice in the region. The June 7 conference was organized along the lines of three panels: two dealing with the individual country studies, with the author of each paper making an oral presentation followed by comments from a United States–based expert, and a final panel of four leading authorities providing regional analysis. This report summarizes the work of each of the three panels in the conference and outlines the conclusions reached and the recommendations for policymakers. The purpose of the project throughout was a practical one aimed at clarifying a regional picture of progress to date, or lack thereof, in judicial reform and at providing concrete suggestions to meet the challenges still pending. Electronic links to the country papers are listed in the text of this report. Details: Washington, DC: CSIS Americas Program, 2006. 25p.
