Abstract
The reform of civil and criminal justice systems is a contentious issue and has become the top priority for the international community in re-establishing the rule of law. The justice systems in many common law jurisdictions are perceived to be ‘in crisis' deformed by exorbitant delay, cost, and complexity in proceedings. The level of resources engulfed in the judicial system has very little or no impact on judicial performance. Comparative and comprehensive analysis of the law not only leads to a better realization of the foreign laws, but also it aids with law unification. This chapter will attempt to highlight the issues in the civil and criminal justice system and comparatively analyze the scenario in England, Singapore, and India. In furtherance, the authors explore the possible methods to curb the delay in justice systems and canvas the modern trends in civil and criminal justice policy.
