What underpins citizens' trust in justice in the European Union?

According to Alberto de Gregorio Merino, Director-General of the European Commission Legal Service (European Commission), trust in the EU is built on the independence and efficiency of its judiciary. An independent and efficient judiciary not only safeguards the rights of citizens but also helps ensure that EU law is applied consistently across all Member States. The European Commission Legal Service contributes to this mission by safeguarding the legality of Commission action, advising on compliance with EU law, and representing the Commission before the Union courts.

Through these functions, it supports legal certainty, the consistent application of EU law, and the Rule of Law across the European Union. Maintaining citizens' confidence in justice requires strong institutions, well-trained justice practitioners, and a shared commitment to upholding the principles on which the EU is founded.

Judicial training and continuous professional development play an important role in equipping judges, prosecutors, and court staff with the knowledge and skills needed to fulfil this responsibility.

What helps citizens place their trust in justice?

According to Andrés Ritter, incoming European Chief Prosecutor at the European Public Prosecutor's Office - EPPO trust is earned through results. While independence enables prosecutors to pursue cases free from political influence, accountability ensures they remain answerable to the citizens they serve.

Mr Ritter also highlights the importance of strong cross-border cooperation and effective action against organised crime and EU fraud. These efforts help protect the European Union's financial interests while contributing to its stability and security.

Building and maintaining public trust is essential to the effective functioning of justice systems and the Rule of Law. Training and continuous professional development have an important role to play in equipping justice practitioners with the knowledge and skills needed to meet evolving challenges and uphold these values.

What is essential for ensuring that justice remains effective in an increasingly interconnected Europe?

According to Eurojust President Michael Schmid, cross-border cooperation between prosecutors and judges is fundamental to upholding the Rule of Law and combating serious and organised crime.

As European societies and economies grow closer together, justice systems must be able to operate effectively across jurisdictions. President Schmid underlines the importance of weaving an ever-closer judicial fabric across Europe, founded on cooperation, mutual trust and a shared commitment to the Rule of Law.

Through training, exchanges and collaborative initiatives, judicial training plays an important role in supporting cross-border judicial cooperation in Europe.

What is essential for ensuring that justice remains independent, effective, and trusted in today's Europe?

According to the President of the Court of Justice of the European Union, Koen Lenaerts, delivering fair justice to citizens across Europe requires that all national judges know EU law and apply it correctly.

The Court of Justice plays a key role in this, including assisting national courts and monitoring whether the EU Member States comply with their commitment to respect judicial independence as part of the Rule of Law value common to all of them. This contributes significantly to citizens' trust in justice systems.

EJTN is proud to partner with the CJEU on several important judicial training initiatives, such as long-term training periods, study visits, learning resources, and seminars. These activities allow European judges and prosecutors to gain hands-on experience in EU procedures and deepen their knowledge of the Court's case-law. Moreover, the long-term training periods at the CJEU constitute a very important opportunity for the professional lives of the participants.

What helps build lasting trust in justice?

According to European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection Michael McGrath EU Commissioner, justice is where Europe's values meet people's lives. Every fair hearing, every rights-respecting judgment and every independent judicial decision helps make the European promise tangible for citizens. Behind each of these decisions stands a judge who knows not only the law, but also the values it protects.

Commissioner McGrath highlights the essential role of judicial training, which helps build a common European culture centred on the Rule of Law and, with it, lasting trust in justice.

EJTN is grateful for its longstanding and fruitful partnership with the European Commission, whose continued support has been instrumental in advancing judicial training across Europe. Together, we contribute to strengthening a shared European area of justice founded on the Rule of Law, mutual trust and the values at the heart of the European project.

For the voice of a child to be really heard and understood, we need better skills to listen, really listen.

On the International Day of the Girl Child, Judge Margreet Blaisse, Director of EJTN member Studiecentrum Rechtspleging (SSR) and former Chair of the EJTN Steering Committee, reflects on the Voice of the Child project.

Drawing on real interactions between children and judges in three different countries, the project explored how judicial training can help justice practitioners better understand children's perspectives and take their views into account. The project developed innovative training resources, including recordings and a practical manual, to support child-friendly judicial practice across Europe.

As Judge Blaisse highlights, ensuring that children are heard is not only about how we speak with them, but also about how we listen to them. Children are our future, and they deserve first-class attention.

The project materials are available to EJTN members on the EJTN Intranet.

Bringing Europe’s judicial trainers together turns shared challenges into shared solutions.

On 1-2 October, 27 representatives from EJTN Members, Associate Members, and Observers from 21 countries across Europe gathered in Lisbon for the first-ever EJTN Trainer Lab, organised by the EJTN Working Group on Judicial Training Methods and hosted by its Convener, the Centre for Judicial Studies of Portugal.

This peer-learning forum provided a platform to share innovative practices, discuss common challenges, and explore opportunities for future cooperation.

Discussions focused on five key methodological themes:

🔵 Judgecraft and legal skills
🔵 Innovative methodologies
🔵️ Learning from others
🔵 Building the learning environment and faculty
🔵 Digitalisation, AI, and immersive learning

The EJTN Trainer Lab highlighted the value of sharing expertise across borders and reaffirmed EJTN’s commitment to strengthening judicial training through collaboration, innovation, digitalisation, and continuous learning.

The discussions and presentations during the EJTN Trainer Lab showcased a wide range of innovative practices and valuable insights. EJTN will explore ways to bring together the knowledge shared during the event into a resource that could support peer learning and the continued development of judicial training across Europe and beyond.

Our sincere thanks to the Centre for Judicial Studies of Portugal for hosting the event and leading the discussions, and to the Judicial Institute of Scotland, an EJTN Observer, for moderating it.

Your idea! Your project!

The 2027 EJTN Project-Based Exchanges offer justice practitioners the opportunity to create and lead their own exchange projects in collaboration with counterparts across Europe. Topics may address key European judicial challenges, such as digitalisation of justice, judicial ethics, or cross-border crime.

Learn more about the 2027 EJTN Project-Based Exchanges:
https://ejtn.eu/news/2027-ejtn-project-based-exchanges-now-open-to-judicial-trainers/

Each project proposal is evaluated against a detailed scoring rubric that assesses its justification, objectives, structure, and expected impact.

Project findings are subsequently shared at both national and European levels, extending the impact of each exchange beyond the participants directly involved.

From 2027, judicial trainers will also be eligible to participate, further strengthening the dissemination of knowledge as well as cooperation among national training institutions.

Applications are open until 14 October 2026 (18:00 CEST).
