The European Judicial Training Strategy is a policy initiative by the European Commission that sets out how the EU will support and coordinate training for judges, prosecutors, lawyers, court staff and other justice professionals across Member States over a multi-year period.
As part of the Digital Justice Package, the new Judicial Training Strategy 2025-2030 (JTS) places a strong focus on digitalisation and technological competence. Its broad aims are to support the upskilling of justice professionals, to promote knowledge-sharing on EU digitalisation legislation, and to raise awareness of the digitalisation of justice.
The Academy was involved from the start in the preparations of the JTS through its membership of the European Commission’s Expert Group on European Judicial Training. It also contributed to the two most recent high-level expert conferences organised under the Hungarian and Polish Presidencies of the Council of the EU, respectively in November 2024 and May 2025, by presenting its strategy to train justice professionals on digitalisation and AI tools.
In the JTS, ERA is mentioned among the relevant partners to the European Commission and called to “organise cross-border training with the aim of fostering a broader European perspective among participants and facilitating cross-border cooperation, professional exchange, and networking between justice professionals”.
ERA looks forward to playing a driving role in the implementation of the new JTS. Read the full strategy here .
