Supporting the Judicial Training Center of Montenegro

Project description

CILC provided institutional assistance to the Judicial Training Centre (JTC) of Montenegro so as to meet the most urgent training needs of 2008/2009. Achievements in 2008 included the provision of advice on the improvement of the JTC strategy and internal procedures. For this purpose a delegation from the JTC also visited the Estonian Law Centre in Tartu, the Estonian institution which is responsible for the training of judges and prosecutors. Furthermore, a number of training courses on court administration for court presidents, administrative law  and international cooperation in civil and criminal matters were organised. Finally, the project supported the upgrading of JTC equipment (such as new computers and a network printer) and the preparation of a number of JTC publications (such as a compilation of the case law of Montenegro’s Administrative Court and the Opinions of the Consultative Council of Judges at the Council of Europe). At the beginning of 2009 two seminars for judges were organised on administrative law and on maritime law. The project also supported the Judicial Training Centre in the publication of a compilation of judicial decisions from the administrative court of Montenegro.
