    • CEELI’s 20th Anniversary Capital Campaign

In autumn 2020, the CEELI Institute launched its new Spotlight Series of Webinars on the topic — ‘Judiciaries in Peril in Central & Eastern Europe.’ This series shines a spotlight on pressing issues challenging the judiciary in key countries of the region, including Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Montenegro, and Hungary. Each session explores the challenges faced in a particular country that undermine and imperil that nation’s judiciary, including the circumstances underlying recent attacks on the judiciary and how these threaten judicial independence. We also explore possible solutions and remedies that could help strengthen the independence of these judiciaries.


Upcoming Sessions

Central & Eastern European Judicial Exchange Network

The CEELI Institute’s Central and Eastern European Judicial Network, now in its eighth year, is comprised of some of the best and brightest rising judges from eighteen countries who gather regularly to share best practices on issues of judicial independence, integrity, accountability, and court management. As international in-person meetings are likely to be limited for some time to come, the Spotlight Series ensures that the Network can continue to meet its mandate to promote judicial independence, and improve judicial integrity and court efficiency in Central and Eastern Europe, despite the global lockdowns resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.
