The activities of the Lisbon Network have been integrated to the CEPEJ activities in January 2011. Click here to get to the new homepage.

The Lisbon Network was set up in 1995 as part of the legal co-operation programmes in order to enable the different judicial training bodies in Europe to become better acquainted with each other, exchange information on matters of common interest and to support, by means of this dialogue, the setting up or further development of judicial training facilities in the member States of the Council of Europe.

Cybercrime training for judges and prosecutors

 

Adoption of a Concept paper on cybercrime training for judges and prosecutors: Strasbourg, September 2009

The Lisbon Network of the Council of Europe approved in September 2009 the concept paper for the training of judges and prosecutors in cybercrime and electronic evidence matters. This concept is aimed at helping judicial training institutions develop and integrate such training in regular initial and in-service training. It will furthermore facilitate networking among judges and prosecutors to enhance their knowledge as well as consistent support to training initiatives by interested partners. Following up on the Octopus conference held in March 2009, the concept was prepared as a joint effort by a multi-stakeholder working group under the Project on Cybercrime and the Lisbon Network of Judicial Training Institutions.
