Ovaj rad razmatra institut prava na suđenje u razumnom roku i načine na koje se to pravo štiti u Republici Hrvatskoj. U radu se analizira povijesni aspekt zaštite prava na suđenje u razumnom roku kroz više razdoblja kojima se pokušalo utjecati na učinkovitost te zaštite.Također daje se prikaz načina zaštite prava na suđenje u razumnom roku u Republici Hrvatskoj kroz analizu sudskih postupaka Ustavnog i Vrhovnog suda Republike Hrvatske, gdje se vidi utjecaj Europskog suda za ljudska prava. Zaključna je ocjena autora da se stanje u hrvatskom pravosuđu polako popravlja i da treba nastaviti s donošenjem propisa kojima bi se racionalizirala organizacija sudstva.
