SC ADMINISTRATIVE CIRCULAR NO. 26 - 2003, April 14, 2003
AUTHORIZING THE CONDUCT OF A FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION ON PUBLIC PERCEPTION ON THE JUDICIARY AND THE ATTENDANCE OF SELECTED PERSONNEL THEREIN
The Asia Foundation, under its Legal Accountability
and Dispute Resolution (LADR) Project, will be implementing a Public
Opinion Survey on Courts which will be conducted together with the
Social Weather Station (SWS) and is expected to lead to the following:
- higher quality of public discourse on, and media coverage of judicial reform issues;
- greater efficiency and effectiveness in the coordination
of efforts by the courts and civil society to inform and educate the
public about judicial impartiality and accountability; - higher citizens expectations in their interface with the judiciary; and
- increased positive pressures for judicial systems reform.
The survey research also hopes to provide new and
systematic information on the states of opinion with respect to the
justice system existing in the country.
In order to achieve these objectives, the TAF, with
SWS and the assistance of the Program Management Office (PMO) will
conduct three Focus Group Discussion with judges, the Integrated Bar of
the Philippines and Alternative Law Groups. The FGD for judges will be
held on 23 April 2003 at the Oakwood, Makati from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
