A CEELI ONLINE CERTIFICATE COURSE

Best Practices for Remote Judging

Dates : 14 October 2021 – March 2022

This 5-month blended learning course, which will mix online and onsite sessions, is the repeat of our successful Remote Judging course launched in October 2020. Offered as part of the CEELI Institute’s Central & Eastern European Judicial Network Exchange program, this course aims to equip judges with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct remote judging in the Central & Eastern Europe context as they respond to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on their work. The increased emphasis on technology and remote judging has heightened the need for specific judicial training in these areas. Promoting uses of technology that enhance the justice system and enable more efficient and accessible justice is a key responsibility of any modern judiciary. This program will help facilitate the use of technology and online hearings where appropriate, but still ensuring access to justice, and adherence to international standards of human rights and fair trials.
