The Second Judicial Reform Project in Armenia has two primary objectives: to provide Armenia's judiciary with the administration, facilities and expanded capacity necessary to improve the efficiency, reliability and transparency of judicial operations and services; and continue to improve public awareness of judicial services and access to legal and judicial information. The project has several components to support these objectives. The first component is strengthening judicial governance and administration. This will be achieved by building capacity in the council of justice, building an effective judicial department, and expanding judicial automation. The second component consists of the courthouse rehabilitation and expansion into the regions and a new cassation court complex. The third project component is the judicial training school which will become the permanent judicial training facility school. Along with the school there will be the development of a training curriculum. The fourth component is improving enforcement of judicial decisions. The fifth component consists of the strengthening of arbitration services. The final component will be to expand access to legal information and public awareness.
