Mission
The main mission of the Centre for Judicial Studies is to train judges and public prosecutors. It is therefore, the CEJ’s responsibility to provide initial and ongoing training for judges and public prosecutors for courts of law and for administrative and tax courts.
As regards the training of foreign judges and public prosecutors and foreign future judges and public prosecutors, it is the CEJ’s responsibility to carry out training activities within the framework of networks or of other international training organisations of which it is a member, and in agreement with cooperation protocols established with similar foreign entities, particularly those in countries where Portuguese is an official language. It is also the CEJ’s responsibility to implement international assistance and cooperation projects regarding the training of judges and public prosecutors, and technical cooperation agreements on judicial matters entered into by the Portuguese State.
It is also the CEJ’s mission to carry out research activities and studies on judicial matters and to provide legal and judicial training activities for lawyers, legal agents (solicitadores) and agents of other sectors of the justice system, as well as to cooperate in the training activities of other institutions.
