Abstract
The conference meeting was organized by
the Supreme Court of Justice of Guatemala, in partnership
with the World Bank, where judicial school directors,
judges, practitioners, law students, and officials from
different countries participated. The meeting aimed to
harness good practices, and knowledge for furthering
judicial education, based on the premise that the knowledge,
and skills of judges, of court staff, and of other justice
sector professionals, and users, impact significantly on the
performance of the judicial system. Discussions centered
around different themes, that included concepts of judicial
excellence, judicial ethics, and the role of human rights,
e-learning, and distance education, in-service training and
evaluation methodologies, attitudinal change in the courts,
and the role of education and strategies to inspire future
generations of law students, and professionals. The report
comprises various facets of judicial education, its
challenges, and opportunities.
