The JUST strategic vision is fair, effective and timely justice for all in Jordan, guaranteed by a judicial system that operates with efficiency, transparency, accountability and independence.
In furtherance of this strategic vision, JUST will pursue seven interrelated goals during the period 2007-2009, building on the achievements of JUST in 2004-2006.
Goal One: Establish and maintain high standards of independence and integrity in the judicial system. JUST will focus on enhancing judicial independence and providing an environment where courts can interpret and apply laws and regulations in an impartial, predictable, efficient, and transparent manner. Under this component, efforts will also focus on building the capacity of the judiciary in a way that will further support the enhancement of judicial independence.
Goal Two: Enhance the efficiency of the judicial system. Judicial efficiency will contribute significantly to national competitiveness, respect for the rule of law, increased investment, and public satisfaction, while maintaining the independence and integrity of the judiciary. Among other needs, efficiency will require investment in processes and procedures as well as physical infrastructure.
Goal Three: Strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Justice. Enhancing the capacity of the Ministry of Justice will enable it to be a change driver that can serve the judiciary and key stakeholders in an optimal manner.
Goal Four: Develop the human resource capacities of the judiciary and administrative staff. Strong human resource capacities and skills are essential to the achievement of all other goals and to the effective administration of justice.
Goal Five: Automate court proceedings, records and statistics. Modern, automated management information systems and IT infrastructure throughout the courts in Jordan will support efficient case adjudication, timely and reliable statistics generation, and ready access by stakeholders to needed information.
Goal Six: Strengthen the legislative and regulatory framework for efficiency, transparency, accountability and independence of the judicial system.The JUST strategic vision requires an environment of enabling legislation that is responsive to the needs of civil society, reflects best practice and contributes to national competitiveness.
Goal Seven: Increase transparency through strengthened links with civil society, the media, and other key stakeholders.Strengthened ties between the judiciary and key stakeholders will enhance cooperation in achieving better results from the civil and criminal justice systems. Public awareness about JUST, its achievements and its objectives will facilitate stakeholder input, feedback, and monitoring.
