Research Questions. The first group of research questions is hence related to the allocation and transfer of cases among hearing locations: - How are cases allocated to the various hearing locations within a judicial district? Is there a possibility for parties or for court managers to choose the hearing location for a case (within or outside the court district)? And if yes, to what extent and how is this process supported by ICT? The experiences and approaches of the reform efforts aimed at ensuring a balanced distribution of cases in Latvia will provide interesting perspectives on these issues.Not all court cases require judicial work. In some cases, what is really required are just the authority of the court and its capacity to issue enforceable decisions. It may be useful for Spain, while reorganising the work of all of its first instance courts, to consider the possibility to introduce, after looking at good practices, mechanisms that may take out from judges’ workload all repetitive cases with little or no judicial content. New working processes can be designed to automate as much as possible the treatment of these cases. Under certain circumstances, it may be convenient even to create an ad-hoc court, whose greater inflow of cases may both justify and simplify the adoption of more sophisticated technological solutions.
