Within the framework of and with support from the “CyberEast: Action on Cybercrime for Cyber Resilience in the Eastern Partnership Region”, a joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe, on the week of 21-24 January 2020 the National School of Judges of Ukraine organised an Introductory Judicial Training for the judges of Ukraine.

The event took place in Lviv, Ukraine, with around 25 participants coming from several regions of the country, such as Lviv, Donetsk, Zhitomir, Dnipropetrovsk, Zakarpatsky, Khmelnitskiy, Volyn, Ternopil, as well as with representatives of the National School of Judges and two Council of Europe consultants.

The Introductory Judicial Training came as a continuation of the successful Pilot Judicial Training that took place in Kyiv in November 2019 and aimed at developing the introductory skills and knowledge required for judges to fulfil their respective roles and functions in cases of cybercrime, electronic evidence and search, seizure and confiscation of online crime proceeds.

This course was based on the training materials developed by the Council of Europe and included legal, as well as practical information about the subject matters, focusing on how these issues impact the day-to-day work of judges and prosecutors.
