e-Justice in the European Union: What Does It Offer to Law
Seminar e-Justice in the European Union: What Does It Offer to Law Practitioners? Beginners and Advanced Modules Luxembourg, 1-2 June 2015 European Institute of Public Administration European Centre for Judges and Lawyers Seminar venue European Centre for Judges and Lawyers EIPA Luxembourg Building of the Chambre des Métiers 4th Floor – Master Room (411) 2 Circuit de la Foire Internationale 1347 Luxembourg Introduction Target group This seminar addresses lawyers, judges, judicial officers and other legal practitioners who wish to discover the general framework and main tools of European e-Justice. It is also relevant for officials of ministries of justice who are involved in the computerisation of courts, judicial services and national ministries involved in the development of e-Government projects. Staff of legal documentation centres and NGOs can also benefit from the hands-on approach to existing European online resources. Description e-Justice has been under discussion at European level since 2007 and we are now able to discover and use the first practical tools developed as a result of the roadmap for European e-Justice. The one-day programme of Module 1 for beginners will detail the evolutionary European framework, roadmap and action plan, explore the progress and obstacles of a true European e-Justice, as well as allowing participants to use two of the main tools of European e-Justice and discuss their relevance to their professional practice. Some information on the work currently being done to develop e-Justice tools will be succinctly provided. From the mere access to information on laws via the internet, to the possibility of electronic communication with persons involved in court proceedings, there is a wide range of opportunities for using information technologies at national, European Union and international level. This not only facilitates communication between professionals, but also improves access to justice for citizens, businesses and legal practitioners. However, use of e-Justice tools at European level requires interoperability between national systems. Users are thus confronted with some specific obstacles: a confusing profusion of sources of information; a partial lack of legal harmonisation, national or even technical choices; and multilingual contexts. Module 2 for advanced level, builds on the programme of the seminar for beginners, to address the issues related to future developments of European e-Justice. The existing European roadmap covers the objectives for European projects in the field of e-Justice up until 2013. Some of the existing projects will only bear visible results after that period since development of European-wide IT projects necessitates a lot of preliminary groundwork. The seminar will describe the practical implications for judicial organisation of the ongoing projects and evaluate the business case for further projects in the period 2014-2020. Learning methodology Presentations, discussions, online exercises, all allowing for Q&A sessions and discussion of practical use of existing tools. Objectives The objectives of Module 1 – beginners, are twofold: • firstly, to detail the general framework, find out more about its perimeters and goals and how it is trying to make a coherent whole from diverse initiatives developed at national level through improved interoperability and common projects; • secondly to present the main functionalities of the principal tools and build research reflexes through practical online exercises on the website of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European e-Justice Portal. The objectives of Module 2 – advanced, are twofold: • firstly, to focus in detail on the questions related to interoperability, legal security, legal and semantic interoperability, which need to be solved for each of the existing ongoing projects, while presenting the tools which will shortly be available to one or several legal professions; • secondly, to evaluate the feasibility of development of further projects building on existing national projects and implementation of new European legal instruments.
