SELECT - StrEnghten Lay and honorary judges European CompeTencies
The project aims to develop a training course through frontal lessons
and e-learning instruments able to provide lay judges involved with
didactic and practical tools suitable to support the correct application
of the "Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union" (so-called
Charter of Nice) in the national legal systems. The Charter is relevant
in significant areas for the judicial protection of individuals, such
as immigration law, family and children law, labour and consumer law,
anti-discrimination law and criminal law. Its application with respect
to internal rules, in addition to being required for the fulfilment of
the obligations set by EU law, enriches the tools for the protection of
individuals, determining, in many cases, greater protection than that
provided by the national law.
However, the assessment of the criteria for the application of the
Charter is a very complex task for national justice operators, since a
constant reference to case-law of the EU Court of Justice and to EU
rules is required.
The project, therefore, responds to the need for follow up on a constant
updating to which justice professionals are legally subjected.
