On November 9, the President of India will While the debate relating to the appropriate procedure for the appointment of judges continues to occupy the political space, there are also age-old issues relating to the role of the judiciary in a democracy. Recently, Union Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju observed, “Should the judiciary run the country or should the elected government?… Now if the judiciary starts framing the rules, if they start deciding where the road is to be built, if the judiciary gets into the service rules, what is the government for…” The incoming CJI will have several demands on his time and the institutional and social expectations on the judiciary are profound. I believe that there are five critical aspects of the justice delivery mechanism that need attention. The first is the appointment of judges. All organisations and institutions are fundamentally dependent on their ability to have outstanding people, with competence, integrity and independence, appointed to them. To appoint the right people to the Supreme Court and the high courts requires enormous effort and identification of talent from the legal profession and academia. It is important that the appointment process commits itself to three values, which ought to be deeply embedded in the mindset of the members of the collegium — transparency and integrity in the selection process of judges; making conscious efforts to promote diversity and inclusion with a stronger emphasis on includin...

BOSTON – The Crime and Justice Institute, with support from Arnold Ventures, today Community supervision, such as probation and parole, is often viewed as an alternative to incarceration, but many states are struggling with increasing or stagnant revocation rates, which frequently result in people being incarcerated. Of the 1.8 million individuals who exit probation or parole each year, almost half do not successfully complete supervision, with 211,000 people returning to prison or jail. In 2019, CJI, with support from Arnold Ventures, began a comprehensive assessment of sentencing and community supervision practices in four states: Colorado, Florida, Mississippi, and Montana. The goal of this effort was to equip state leaders with the information necessary to adopt and expand evidence-based supervision practices demonstrated to increase public safety and increase the successful transition to communities. Over 18 months, CJI reviewed a decade’s worth of data from five supervision agencies in the four states, interviewed dozens of stakeholders, reviewed statute and policy, conducted focus groups and surveys to gain input from more than 1,300 agency staff, and reviewed nearly 900 supervision case files. The findings and recommendations are laid out in five state reports (Colorado’s probation and parole operations are addressed in separate reports because of the state’s bifurcated supervision system). A national report highlights themes across the states and recommends strate...
