Description: (Presentation en FR)
Training to leadership in the judiciary is a difficult task, because leadership and court management are to be balanced with values that are inherent in the judiciary, such as judicial independence. However, leaders in the judiciary, and especially presidents of courts and chief prosecutors, should be supported by training in developing specific skills and capacities -such us “personal development”, leadership and communication skills development, change management capacity development- that are necessary for the efficient and effective management of judicial organisations.
Competences concerning court leaders’ appointment and evaluation often belong, in EU Member States, to Judicial Councils. Depending on the national legal framework, Judicial Councils, when they exist, allocate resources -human and or financial-, sometimes decide on mobility of judges and prosecutors, sometimes establish the qualities that leaders must have in order to be appointed, sometimes determine the targets of the courts or of the individual performance, sometimes establish or verify the implementation of ethical rules by leaders. The Judicial Councils’ roles and competences are strictly intertwined with judicial leaders’ roles. Hence the working group Judicial Training Methods has established a cooperation with ENCJ, in order to share views and best practices.
A conference, focused on concrete problems of training to leadership, was organised by the EJTN in cooperation with ENCJ in Barcelona on 12 and 13 July 2016.
This day-and-a-half training is aimed at following up the cooperation between EJTN and ENCJ in the field of training to leadership. It is specifically aimed at identifying leaders’ training needs.
