Enhancing judicial cooperation in civil matters
Organisation of a series of interactive language training events
The project
Within the framework of the Civil Justice Programme the European Union provides co-financing for a series of eight language training activities in the area of EU civil law. The main objective is to improve the English-language skills of judges in the field of judicial cooperation in civil matters. The seminars are organised by the Academy of European Law – ERA in partnership with the national judicial schools from Croatia, France, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Spain and 4 German Länder (Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Nordrhein-Westfalen and Rheinland-Pfalz).
The concept
Each of the eight seminars will be autonomous and will be addressed to 26-28 judges only from the partnering judicial schools. Each seminar will have a duration of 3 days (2 full and 2 half days) and will be organised in various countries from the partnering Member States.Programme
The training activities will cover two EU legal instruments with great practical relevance for judges:- Regulation Brussels Ia: “Cross-border civil litigation”
- Regulation Brussels IIa: “European family law”
