Welcome to the EJTN Linguistics Project page
Within the Framework Partnership Agreement with the European Commission, the European Judicial Training Network launched in 2010 a comprehensive, multi-year training programme entitled ‘Language training on the vocabulary of judicial cooperation in criminal matters’.
Seven training seminars will be held over 2011 and 2012, with each seminar consisting of a five day, face-to-face course. The course will combine theoretical and practical sessions of the four basic language skills : reading, writing, speaking, listening, within legal terminology. More than 300 judges and prosecutors from across EU member states will be trained during the seminars.

The seminars will be held in English and French (only in English in France) in six EU member states: Italy, France, Slovenia, Poland, Romania and Spain.
The preparatory meetings of the experts appointed in the project and in charge with the preparation of materials and lectures took place in Brussels in September 2010 , January and December 2011 and in Paris in May 2011.
The first seminar held on 14-18 February 2011 in Rome, Italy , gathered together 48 magistrates from 11 European countries and it has opened a series of successful seminars.

The second seminar was held between 4-8 July 2011 in Bordeaux, France and the third seminar took place between 7-11 November 2011 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The fourth seminar will take place between 5-9 March 2012 in Cracow, Poland.

In order to extend the benefit of this training beyond the initial 300 participants, a training Handbook in DVD format will be produced in 2012. The Handbook will include the course contents along with other related training materials.
The Handbook will be available from EJTN’s website, which will ensure the widest possible diffusion of knowledge and training across European organizations and national training institutions.
