A two-day webinar, 18-19 May 2020, on legal reasoning and legal drafting in civil cases with the consideration of the European Human Rights Court’s case law and decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina is underway. The webinar is organised for judges and judicial assistants, in cooperation with the Judicial and Prosecutorial Training Centres of Republika Srpska and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The capacity of the judges to interpret the legal provisions in the light of the decisions of the higher courts, the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights is a condition for insurances of the coherence of judicial practice and therefore legal certainty. Examples of direct application of the European Convention on Human Rights were discussed and arguments presented for factual and legal conclusions in civil cases.

The training is led by an experienced judge-trainer and a certified trainer, who completed the Training of Trainers course held in 2019 within the project.

The training is organised under the project: “Initiative for Legal Certainty and Efficient Judiciary in Bosnia and Herzegovina” funded by the Kingdom of Norway.
