Methods of Reducing Trial Prorogation in Dispute Resolution Councils to Support Citizen Rights

Dispute Resolution Council, a semi-judicial non-governmental institution, might first seemsuccessful in decreasing referrals to courts, increasing public participation, resolving local issuesand in short, resolution of issues with no judicial nature, in its 10 years of activity. But afterconsidering the regulations and performance of this institution in recent years, its weaknesses andstrengths could be distinguished. Handling lawsuits by Dispute Resolution Councils are prone tocomplications that lead to trial prorogation and consequently citizen’s dissatisfaction and as aresult, violation of citizen’s rights. Hence, these complications could be eliminated by providingresearch and legal solutions and through principled planning and passing necessary laws. However,some deficiencies are due to legislations and also their enforcement, where the haste inapprobation and the experimental nature has sacrificed precision and quality, and the incompletelaw has been passed by its inherent deficiencies. Thus, this research is to provide solutions todecrease trial prorogation in this institution using researcher’s own experiences and existingresources. Among the most important of these proposed solutions is the establishment of interorganizationalunits, such as research unit, judges training unit, research and secretary unit,consulting unit, informatics unit and unit of special summons for legal papers.
