Country profiles
The
CEPEJ consists of representatives of the 47 Council of Europe member
states, who are supported in their work by networks of national experts
enabling them to keep in touch with the situation in Europe’s judicial
systems: - a network of national correspondents
responsible for co-ordinating the collection of relevant information for
the evaluation of judicial systems;
- a network of pilot courts allowing the CEPEJ to pursue
its activities while taking account of the practical day-to-day
operation of courts;
- the Lisbon Network which is composed of
representatives of national training institutions of the member States
in charge of questions relating to training of judges and prosecutors,
allowing the CEPEJ to develop European quality standards in the field of
training
A good knowledge of national judicial systems and
current judicial issues in the member states (such as reforms under
consideration or in progress) is needed for the development, within the
Council of Europe, of common tools and measures for improving the
impartiality, efficiency and quality of the public justice service on
the basis of European standards.
