However, we would like to know a little bit more about the topic and focus of this gathering. Namely, 1. Would you please define “judicial reform” – will we discuss changes in courts administration (management, financing, training, human recourse development, judges’ self management system etc) or changes in legislation regarding courts procedures in our respective countries (court fees, time of proceedings etc)? 2. Does every delegation has to prepare a presentation and on which aspects it should focus? 3. What are the working languages of the round table? 4. Do you limit the size of the delegation, are the participants only judges or could the court officials with their area of expertise in courts administration also take part in the discussions? Thank you in advance for the information! Kind regards Mari-Liis Lipstok Legal Adviser to the Chief Justice Supreme Court of Estonia tel +372 730 9022 mob +372 529 4599
