Easo Curriculum For Members Of Courts And Tribunals

With the purpose of supporting quality and harmonising (quasi-)judicial decisions made in asylum cases across the EU, and in line with the mandate contained in the founding Regulation, EASO provides two-fold training support for members of courts and tribunals in Member States and Associated Countries that includes the development and publication of professional development materials as well as the organisation of professional development activities. 'Article 15(c) Qualification Directive (2011/95/EU): a judicial analysis' is the first chapter of such materials created. It aims to put at the disposal of members of courts and tribunals dealing with international protection cases a helpful tool to further the understanding of protection issues in certain instances.^To further the understanding of the materials, EASO organises workshops to provide future judicial trainers at national level with an in-depth overview of the chapter as well as the methodology suggested for the organisation of workshops. This judicial trainer's Guidance Note supports the consistent and coherent use of the chapter in professional development activities to be organised at national level. Therefore, it should be read and understood only in conjunction with the chapter. It introduces the objectives and aims of the professional development sessions to judicial trainers as well as illustrating some tools at their disposal when conducting an efficient professional development meeting. It also suggests different case examples or scenarios that may be used. This collection of case examples is by no means definitive or exhaustive and judicial trainers are encouraged to draw on their own (national) experience to compliment the illustrative materials contained in this note.^This note also provides practical assistance on the organisation and implementation of professional development sessions. It is to be used without prejudice to the specific national law provisions and to the nature of the jurisdiction in each Member State.
