AN ANALYSIS OF JUDICIAL CORRUPTION – Sohair Ahmed Shaikh

Abstract:-

The legal profession has a collective obligation to maintain and self-patrol the profession’s ethics, primarily through their regulating authorities, and it should be considered to what extent these authorities are promoting anti-corruption standards or reprimanding lawyers who are complicit in corrupt acts. The economic study of corrupt practices has already made important theoretical contributions to the literature. However, the empirical literature has failed to capture or objectively examine the root causes of systemic corruption inside court systems. Recent survey based investigations of corrupt practices, which rely solely on subjective evaluations of governance issues, are an excellent example of these inadequacies. A scientific approach to the study of public sector corruption must be empirically verifiable using objective and subjective indicators in order to provide accurate anti-corruption recommendations. This article contains empirical findings that fill in the gaps left by prior research. Six objective explanatory factors are suggested in the article as a way to quantify the influence on corrupt activities. Through the use of surveys of litigants, judges, and attorneys, the compatible subjective probability of corrupt activities are used to measure this dependent variable. Later in the paper, an empirical model incorporating organizational, market-related, and substantive also the term procedural explanatory variables evaluated in the judicial sectors is proposed .
