  • JAS and Judicial Ethics

    About us19.10.2011.

    JAS introduced into society, especially in judiciary, justice ethical issues, by adopting its first Canon of Ethics in 1998 as a short summary of 10 moral values and categories. It was accepted by JAS Managing Board and not by all its members who, in those days represented ¼ of judges’ corpus (600 members). In 2003 JAS adopted the Standards of Ethical Rules, after distributing the proposal among all its members (which number increased up till 1.700 judges – more than 2/3 of judges). Though adopted by JAS members, the idea was that the foreseen ethical rules become the ethical imperative of all judges. more...
