    The operation of the Lupon Tagapamayapa in selected barangays of Jaro, Iloilo City
    Betita, Jomar Alyzar A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-04)
    This research analyzes the efficiency of the operation of the Lupon Tagapamayapa in selected barangays of Jaro, Iloilo City. Its objectives cover analysis of aspects of the operation of the lupon within the area, such as the adequacy of knowledge that the members of the lupon have regarding amicable settlement procedures, the adherence of the lupon to the functions set by the Katarungang Pambarangay Law, the settlement cases handled by the lupon within the area and the results of these disputes and the problems encountered by the lupon in its operation. This study showed that majority of the Lupon members have inadequate knowledge regarding the operation of the Lupon and lacks the necessary knowhow in the implementation of amicable settlement in the area. Majority of the lupon in the area failed to meet the second function set by the law which is to conduct monthly meetings. The research also pointed out the deviations committed by the lupon in enforcing amicable settlement. The problems of the lupon deal mostly with the lack of financial support extended to them by the government.

    Court-annexed mediation: Fair and speedy administration of justice in the Philippines
    Baes, Marty V. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)
    The Philippine Judicial System experiences a problem characterized by clogged court dockets. Courts are having a hard time in resolving the cases brought before them. Court-annexed mediation (CAM) was adopted to supplement the traditional due process (DPL) method of resolving cases. To understand how CAM speeds up the administration of justice, the CAM and DPL method was compared to determine the differences in the length of time and the amount of resources spent for case resolution. Interviews, archival research, and participant observations were conducted. The results revealed that CAM resolve cases in a short period of time involving lesser amount of resources spent compared to the DPL method. Though CAM proves to be a speedy and expedient method of case resolution, it is not yet able to solve the problem of clogged court dockets for the reason that it is still a new method of resolving cases.
