Well-trained practitioners play an important role in strengthening the culture and applying the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>Upholding fundamental rights. the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights should be a reality in people\u2019s lives, and its relationship to national law and the European Convention on Human Rights should be understood.<br \/>\nScaling up the digitalisation of justice. The profession needs to better understand and use digital tools and artificial intelligence.<br \/>\nKeeping pace with developing EU law. Practitioners have to remain abreast of EU legal developments, particularly in areas such as cross-border judicial cooperation, security, terrorism and organised crime, individuals\u2019 procedural and victims\u2019 rights and the implementation of single market and environmental legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Equipping practitioners to address new challenges. Terrorism and cybercrime are constantly evolving, and changing work patterns have an impact on employment and social law.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Necessary_components_beyond_EU_law\"><\/span>Necessary components beyond EU law<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Providing judicial practitioners with multidisciplinary abilities. These range from \u2018judgecraft\u2019* to non-legal knowledge and legal language skills.<br \/>\nMore, broader and targeted training for all professionals applying EU law<\/p>\n<p>Tailoring objectives. Judges and prosecutors are the main target groups, along with court and prosecution staff, lawyers, notaries and bailiffs.<br \/>\nImproving other professions\u2019 EU law training. Prison staff, probation officers, mediators, court experts, insolvency practitioners and legal interpreters\/translators all require knowledge of relevant EU law.<br \/>\nHigh-quality, effective training<\/p>\n<p>Promoting strong methodology, flexibility of responses to different challenges, constant monitoring, exposure of practitioners to diverse forms of learning and evaluation of outcomes.<br \/>\nTraining for young practitioners<\/p>\n<p>Providing new justice professionals with a grounding in the EU legal system and culture. This should include systemic elements of EU law, fundamental rights, rule of law, \u2018judgecraft\u2019 and language skills.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shared_responsibility\"><\/span>Shared responsibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Supporting national stakeholders who have the primary responsibility. Trainers, justice ministries and the regulated professions require the proper resources to achieve a genuine culture where training is seen as an investment.<\/p>\n<p>Encouraging networks of EU law experts. Practitioners should be able to call on colleagues in national networks to provide legal expertise on EU issues.<br \/>\nUsing the unique role of the European Judicial Training Network. With the necessary funding, the European Judicial Training Network is best placed to coordinate national and cross-border training activities.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing EU actors as multipliers. The Academy of European Law, the European Institute of Public Administration and various EU law and justice professionals\u2019 networks should boost training activities and share material and experience.<\/p>\n<p>Providing Commission support. EU financing is available for European-dimension projects ranging from training trainers and fostering cross-border consortia to addressing EU priority areas, testing new ideas and responding to specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>Targeting non-EU justice professionals. European judicial training extends to candidate and potential candidate countries, especially in the western Balkans, and could be extended to other non-EU countries, especially in Africa and Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>Monitoring. The Commission will report on the strategy\u2019s progress and work with stakeholders to improve data collection and analysis.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Context\"><\/span>Context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Lisbon Treaty gave the EU a role in training judiciary and judicial staff in civil and criminal matters. In 2011, the Commission presented a communication entitled \u2018Building trust in EU-wide justice \u2013 A new dimension to judicial training\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The latest communication builds on the progress made.
