General Programme Information


Presentation

At the time society is ever so demanding and courts are summoned to solve litigations an open way towards the resolution of challenges imposed upon courts and the law, the Advanced Training Programme, proposed by the Portuguese Judges’ Trade Union Association and by the Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra/Permanent Observatory for Portuguese Justice opens in 2009 with the Course “The new intervention of Administrative Justice”

The administrative jurisdiction courts have come to play the main role in litigation resolution long cast away from the judicial state of affairs, due to, not only the solidification of social conscience of rights, namely, third generation rights, but essentially from transformations that occurred with the administrative litigation reform of 2004.

The development of the performance of courts, seeking not only its modernization, efficiency and efficacy, but essentially the democratization as fundamental element for the justice system quality, depends on constant reflection and assessment of reforms.

Five years past the implementation of such a reform, this course aims to be a privileged locus of discussion as what pertains to the new role of administrative justice in the reinforcement of a democratic State of Law.


Target

Open to all professionals in the area of justice or those who have special links to this sector, namely judicial magistrates and officials at the Republic’s Prosecution Service, lawyers, judicial staff, criminal police bodies, the media, State institution, association or NGO cadres.
