EJTN is built on a membership-system, by which membership is available to all national institutions of the Member States of the European Union specifically responsible for the training of the professional judiciary and for the training of prosecutors (where they form part of the “corps judiciaire”). These institutions will be called “members” in these T&C. One can become a member by applying for it to EJTN’s General Assembly. Please find the full information on membership in EJTN’s Articles of Association, the document can be found here: EJTN Documentation.
