closed

The Legal and Judicial Reform Project aims to provide required resources for technical assistance, training, goods, and works that are needed to implement important aspects of the Government of Albania institutional agenda for legal and justice system reforms, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the rule of law in Albania. The project has four main components. The first component improves legal education at the Faculty of Law of the University of Tirana by funding twinning arrangements to train faculty staff abroad and technical assistance; by strengthening the institutional capacity of the Faculty of Law and funding textbook preparation and teaching materials, financing investments, and rehabilitating and expanding the premises of the law faculty building. The second component improves the court and case management systems, provides judicial training, strengthens the enforcement of judicial decisions, and reinforces inspection services in the justice system. Component 3 establishes a center for mediation and arbitration of commercial disputes. Component 4 designs and implements an efficient system to disseminate all legal information gathered at, and published by the Publication Center.
