JAS position towards judicial system

About us18.10.2011.

 Holistic approach to the reform of judiciary was the reason for JAS to advocate for several systems (of education of judges, regular evaluation of their performances, system of disciplinary liability, etc). Those systems now are introduced in current laws. Establishing the Judicial Council (JTC) in 2001 Law as well as further developing of HJC status and its regulation by the Constitution was done with the efforts of JAS and prominent professors who shared the same point of view. JTC was established in 2001, on the initiative of JAS which, jointly with Serbian Government, was 50%-50% cofounder of JTC.

JAS Basics of the Judicial (Courts) Reform Strategy was presented in January 2005, a year and a half before the official National Judicial Strategy Reform had been adopted in the Serbian National Assembly (June 2006) with a lot of important solutions that JAS advocated. The systems of disciplinary accountability, which JAS had been advocated from 2004 and a system of permanent assessment of judicial performances (JAS advocated it since 2005 and published in 2007 the first and the only one in Serbia booklet on that issue) were introduced by 2008 Judiciary Laws
Currently JAS is advocating for the adoption of the separate laws on professional association and on whistleblowers and as efficient tool in fight against corruption
