EU Instruments in the Service of Independent Judges and the Rule of Law—Boosting Judicial Competencies

This guide provides insight and analysis of the evolving European understanding of the rule of law from theoretical, historical, and jurisprudential perspectives. The guide will assist judges from Member States to understand and implement this European jurisprudence within an increasingly challenging political atmosphere. As such, the Guide will be an essential, timely, and practical tool to help maintain the rule of law in the region.

This handbook has been prepared as part of the project “International Judicial Training: Boosting Judicial Competencies in a Post-pandemic Reality” (EC International Judicial Training JUST-2022-JTRA101089959) organized in cooperation between the CEELI Institute, the Interdisciplinary Center for Judicature of the University of Silesia, the Association of Croatian Judges, and the Polish Judges’ Association Iustitia.
