전자소송시대의 법원의 역할에 관한 소고 - 전자소송제도의 도입에 즈음하여 -

The advent of the electronic procedure era shows several signs of promise regarding the role of the court. It is especially worth considering the court's function as a combined civil dispute resolution institute. To do this, the court should fulfill several conditions. First, the court should help a person who is in dispute find and choose the appropriate means to settle the dispute. Second, the court should diversify the ways to resolve disputes; for instance court-connected ADR. Third, the court should provide link service with other dispute resolution institutes. Fourth, the court should accumulate and analyze information which are related to dispute resolution. Using this as guiding material, the court should build an automatic counseling system. These changes in the role of the court could be burdensome in the first stage. Ultimately, however, they will make the procedure of the dispute resolution more efficient.
