ABSTRACT:

The project supports and promotes the training of judges and young lawyers from EU Member States

in Central and Eastern Europe, by familiarising them in the law, legal terminology, procedure and

best practices regarding national cases involving the application of EU law, including the legal

instruments mentioned in the Call for proposals for action grants.

The project aims to achieve these aims by organising a series of training sessions, all of which are

conducted solely in English, designed to:

• increase the awareness of the extent to which EU law impacts on national dispute resolution

• improve the EU-law research skills of the participants

• assist in the identification of relevant EU legislation and case-law

• improve the practical application of the legal instruments mentioned in the Call for proposals

for action grants (NB. the instruments focused on at each Academy output will vary

according to whether the participants are civil/criminal practitioners)

• improve the manner in which lawyers and judges formulate EU law-related questions to be

referred for an Article 267 preliminary ruling by the CJEU

• improve advocacy skills during national dispute resolution procedures to ensure that all

factual issues are fully explored prior to any request for an Art 267 preliminary ruling

• improve written and oral advocacy in cases before the CJEU

• improve core case-work skills (including legal research, case preparation, written advocacy

skills, oral advocacy skills, interpersonal skills, linguistic skills and ADR)
