The European Commission has commissioned comprehensive studies on the state of play and best practices of the training of judges, prosecutors, lawyers and court staff in all EU Member States in the framework of the EP Pilot project on European judicial training. The results, due to be published this spring, will include examples of techniques how to plan, implement and evaluate legal training that will be interesting for training providers of all legal professions. Introduction of new training techniques by providers can be financially supported by the new generation of European funding programmes starting in 2014, when involving cross-border cooperation. That is why the European Commission invites training providers for all legal professions to a 1 ½ day project workshop on 26 afternoon and 27 June in Brussels. At the workshop, a selection of interesting training practices will be presented in details, and working groups dedicated to specific training issues will give a forum to training providers to discuss their ideas of building projects to further develop their training, building upon the practices presented. The European Commission will present the new funding possibilities for legal training, in particular the new "Justice programme" that is likely to include a call for action grants addressed exclusively to training projects in the second half of 2014. More information on the event can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/events/judicial-training-2014/index_en.htm We would be grateful, if someone of the training department of the Supreme Court of estonia who has been actively involved in setting up following practice could present it in a breakout session of this event on active involvement of training participants by use of video or actors: · Self-reflection in communication skills (EJTN factsheet no. 35, short description see below) The speaker should have been involved in the implementation of the training practice she/he is presenting.

The training format consists of three stages: an introductory seminar, a one-on-one feedback session and a follow-up seminar. The number of participants is quite low, usually five. The trainer group consists of a communications’ specialist and a specialist in procedural law. At the introductory seminar, participants discuss effective communication and what hearing management strategies they use. Then each participant is visited by the trainers who observe and videotape a court hearing conducted by the participant, followed by their immediate feedback on his/her performance. Before the follow-up seminar, video recordings are made available to the rest of the training group to allow them an opportunity to learn from their fellow judges’ best practices. At the follow-up seminar, participants view and discuss the most significant practices and formulate conclusions and recommendations for their own further development.
