Description

The EJTN Handbook (2016) provides a comprehensive overview of best practices in judicial training methodology across Europe. It serves as a practical guide for training institutions and trainers on how to design, plan, and deliver effective training programmes for judges and prosecutors. 

The handbook promotes a modern approach to judicial training that goes beyond legal knowledge to include skills development, practical competencies, and multidisciplinary learning. It emphasises the importance of interactive and participant-centred methods, as well as the role of trainers and organisers in ensuring high-quality, practice-oriented training. 

Overall, it aims to strengthen the effectiveness, consistency, and innovation of judicial training across EU Member States.
