Abstract: The economic aspect of the judicial system functioning in Bosnia and Herzegovina is complex and multifaceted, which implies the existence of not just one reason or narrow economic view on economic and financial possibilities of improving the judicial system. The basis of this view is related to the way in which judges, court officials, and even lawyers and litigants think about the justice system. Too much attention is given to the rules, but not enough to achieving concrete results. Timeliness is underestimated, both in procedural laws, and in the attitudes of people. The subject of this paper is investigating the cause of the inefficiency of the courts and delays in court proceedings, and working out specific principles and recommendations for their elimination, with the minimum expenditure of budgetary funds. The aim is to emphasize the role of human and systemic elements of the judicial system in BiH, as well as highlighting certain guidelines that are relevant to that system. Fair and timely resolution of cases results in high efficiency and good service delivery to the public, which can be emphasized by the fact that it is easy to delegate certain tasks to other staff, but responsibility cannot be delegated.
