Discussion

Digitalization of Justice

Online panel discussion

The current COVID-19 pandemic proofs the need for digitalization in every area of life - including in justice. While first steps are already taken, there are still a lot of obstacles on the way to a digital access for citizens to justice and automation of court hearings. In this context, Estonia with its multiple approaches to build a digital society is considered a pioneer in Europe. What are the opportunities and challenges of the digitalization of justice? What can other European countries learn from Estonia? We're going to discuss this with five experts from Estonia, Germany and Romania: Leanika Tamm, Judge at Pärnu County Court, Estonia, Ingo Groß, Court President at Brunswick District Court, Germany, Kai Härmand, Judge at Harju County Court, Estonia, Benedikt Quarch, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of the Legal Tech company RightNow Group, Germany and Mariana Feldioreanu, Court President at Bucharest District Court, Romania.

The Impact of Accession to the European Union on the Application of the European Convention on Human Rights

Lecture by Dr. iur. Johan Callewaert, Deputy Grand Chamber Registrar, European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg)

Among the challenges for new member countries of the European Union (EU) in the law and justice sector is to familiarize the countries' legal practitioners with the relationship and interdependence of the various human rights protection systems in place, i.e. the national protection system, the protection system under the European Convention of Human Rights, and the human rights protection system of the European Union. The following contribution analyzes and explains the main consequences of a country's accession to the EU on its application of the European Convention on Human Rights. The four key areas considered in the article are: the legal sources, the scope of EU law, the standards of protection and the available legal remedies and procedures.The contribution is based on a lecture presented by Dr. iur. Johan Callewaert during a conference on "EU law and Judicial Practice" which the Konrad Adenauer Foundation's Rule of Law Programme together with the Academy of European Law had organized in Bucharest, Romania, on April 7-8, 2006. It takes into consideration legal and jurisprudential changes throughout 2006.

The Supreme Judicial Council of the Republic of Bulgaria - Achievements and Challenges

Presentation by Ms. Anita Mihailova, Member of the Supreme Judicial Council of the Republic of Bulgaria

The existence of an independence judiciary is a pillar of a democratic state based on the rule of the law. It is also a fundamental human right which is - inter alia - recognized in Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. One mean to ensure that the independence of the judiciary is observed are institutional safeguards such as institutions the mandate of which is to guarantee the judicial independence. One such institution is the Supreme Judicial Council of the Republic of Bulgaria. Its continued reform is among the benchmarks which the European Commission has set for Bulgaria in its last Monitoring report of 2006. The following presentation which was delivered by Ms. Anita Mihailova in the context of a Bulgarian-Romanian expert conference on December 15, 2006 in Sofia organized by the Rule of Law Programme for South East Europe, describes the development and role of the Supreme Judicial Council of Bulgaria as well as some important achievements and challenges ahead for this important institution.

Judicial human rights protection in Montenegro

Report about a two-day expert talk in Bečići (Montenegro)

The Republic of Montenegro won its independence with a referendum from 21 May 2008. For the young and sovereign state, its institutions, and citizens, this means that they can no longer withdraw from their responsibility of the conclusion of the transformation process and the establishment of a democratic constitutional state based on rule of law principles by merely pointing at the federation with Serbia. The current challenges of reforming the justice sector and of creating a new constitution are great. As is the will of those involved in continuing the initiated democratisation process and in finding solutions which are best for their country. This became evident by the contributions to the conference and discussion by high-ranking legal experts from the Republic of Montenegro during a two-day round-table discussion in Bečići (Montenegro) on "The Implementation of Human Rights Before Judicial Institutions in Montenegro".
