Measure 2.3.14

Measure 2.3.14

Development and approval of the methodology for School of Magistrates studies and publications in compliance with European standards”.

This measure is about the accomplishment of the first step towards the functioning of the body that will carry out the study and research in the School in order to publish scientific materials in various fields of law. Specifically, the School of Magistrates must develop a methodology that will be followed by the School itself and by each working group, which will be tasked with the study of a law institute/issue. The requirement is that this methodology be drafted in accordance with European standards.

However, it seems that the development of methodology alone is not enough to meet the outcome and does not develop the measure itself either.

Given that the fulfillment of the outcome is also related to issues of organization of human capacities and infrastructure and logistics, the methodology would be second in line as a guide of the work of the entity set up for this purpose. This is necessary due to the fact that we are facing a new task that aims to bring about a gradual transformation in the way the School’s Publications Sector operates to date. So, this measure, in order to be considered complete, will have to provide for the strengthening of organizational capacities, human resources of the institution and the increase of infrastructural and logistical capacities that will have to be made available for the realization of this activity.

 

Conclusion: This measure is in line with the outcome and complements a part of it, that of the methodological aspect that will have to be followed by the entity set up for the purposes of analysis and publication. Outcome fulfillment is also related to issues of organization of human capacities, infrastructure and logistics. The methodology would be second in line as a guide to the work of the entity set up for this purpose. In terms of methodology, the set deadline, 2022, seems realistic and possible to be reached.
