A cascade training was held in Ankara on 28 June within the scope of the EU-CoE Joint Project on “Improving the Effectiveness of Family Courts: Better Protection of the Rights of Family Members.” 118 candidate judges benefitted from the training on “Legal Reasoning in Family Court Proceedings.”
With this training seminar, which elaborates on the importance and function of reasoned judgments, it is aimed to raise awareness about the standards, original content and guidance of the high courts that should be included in the reasoning of family court judgments and to contribute to the prevention of violation judgments before the ECtHR due to incomplete/insufficient reasoning. In terms of combating gender-based discrimination, it is among the objectives of the training to raise the awareness of candidate judges on the importance of reflecting the principle of gender equality in the reasoning.
The “Improving the Effectiveness of Family Courts: Better Protection of the Rights of Family Members” Project is co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe and Justice Academy of Türkiye. The Project aims to ensure that the rule of law and fundamental rights in Turkey are fully in line with international and European standards and to improve the effectiveness of family courts in protecting the rights of women, children, and other family members.
