The Supreme Court of Estonia would like to confirm its interest in hosting a colleague in the framework of the 2016 Exchange Programme. This time the hosting chamber will be the civil law chamber so it would be a bit easier for us if the judge participating in the exchange programme in Estonia was of civil law background. The official language of the Supreme Court is Estonian. However, the Exchange Programme can be conducted in English and to a certain extent in German (the whole programme cannot be conducted in German but as many of the judges are fluent in German one-to-one discussions can be held in this language). Due to the language restrictions the Supreme Court would like to host a colleague for a period of five working days – would this suit the Network? Justice of the Criminal Law Chamber of the Supreme Court, Mr. Paavo Randma, would also like to apply for the Exchange Programme. His curriculum vitae and the letter in support of candidacy will be sent to the Network by the end of this week. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any additional information. Sincerely yours, Liis Lindström Adviser to the Chief Justice Supreme Court of Estonia +372 7 309 022 From: Secretariat Network of the Presidents [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2016 2:20 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Priit Pikamäe; Info; Liis Lindström; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Exchange Programme 2016 - Programme d'échanges 2016 Dear President, The Network undertakes to resume the exchanges for the Supreme Court Judges for the year 2016. These exchanges with a maximum duration of fourteen days, which are directly managed by the Network, are open to a maximum of seventeen Judges from all Supreme Courts. As in the past, knowledge of the working language of the Supreme Court of destination would remain a requirement for consideration of the application. We would highly appreciate that you kindly already inform the Secretariat of the Network ([email protected]) of the names and e-mail address of the judges of your Court who would be interested and their wishes for these exchanges. Further to a decision taken by the General Assembly in Rome in June 2014, in order to enable some judges wishing to participate in the program but do not have the knowledge of the language in which the host Supreme Court deliberates, specific funds have been granted to allow the use of an interpreter subject to the approval of all concerned. Short exchanges (for a maximum of five days) may be conducted in a language other than that of the host Supreme Court can also be organized. We would be very grateful if you could indicate whether your Court is interested in organizing such exchanges. Applicants are kindly invited to submit to the secretariat of the Network ([email protected]) a resume and a letter in support of application before 18 March 2016. Yours sincerely, Madame, Monsieur le Premier Président, Le Réseau reprend les échanges entre les juges des cours suprêmes pour l'année 2016. Ces échanges d’une durée maximum de quatorze jours, qui sont gérés directement par le Réseau, sont ouverts cette année à dix-sept juges pour l'ensemble des cours suprêmes. Comme par le passé, la connaissance de la langue de travail de la cour suprême d'accueil sera en principe une condition de la prise en considération de la candidature. Afin de préparer d'ores et déjà ce programme, nous vous serions très obligés de bien vouloir faire connaître au Secrétariat du Réseau ([email protected]) les noms et adresses électroniques des juges de votre Cour qui seraient intéressés ainsi que leurs souhaits pour ces échanges. Comme suite à une décision prise par l’assemblée générale à Rome en juin dernier et sous réserve de l’obtention de la subvention de la Commission, afin de permettre à certains juges désirant participer au programme d’échange mais ne possédant pas la langue dans laquelle la cour suprême d’accueil délibère, des crédits spécifiques ont été sollicités pour permettre le recours à un interprète dans certains cas. Des échanges de courte durée (cinq jours maximum) peuvent également être envisagés et se dérouler dans une langue autre que celle de la cour suprême d’accueil sous réserve de l’accord de celle-ci. Nous vous serions très obligés de bien vouloir nous indiquer si votre Cour pourrait organiser de tels stages. Chaque candidat est prié de soumettre au secrétariat du Réseau ([email protected]) un curriculum vitae et une lettre de motivation avant le 18 mars 2016. Veuillez croire, je vous prie, Madame, Monsieur le Premier Président, à l'expression de notre haute considération.
