On 27 and 28 March 2025, the CEPEJ Working Group on the Quality of Justice (CEPEJ-GT-QUAL) met in Strasbourg to continue its work under its 2024-2025 mandate. The Group continued to develop draft guidelines on the quality of judicial debate, in cooperation with the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE), with a view to its presentation for adoption at the plenary session in June 2025, as well as a draft checklist on access to justice. It also continued its discussions on the revision of the CEPEJ methodology for user satisfaction surveys and on possible work on mediation involving children. Finally, the Working Group had the opportunity to discuss future work topics for its 2026-2027 mandate.

During a joint working session with the CEPEJ working group on cyberjustice and artificial intelligence (CEPEJ-GT-CYBERJUST), the conclusions of the pilot phase of the assessment tool aimed at measuring the compliance of artificial intelligence tools with the principles of the CEPEJ Ethical Charter were also validated. Future work on the quality of interpretation and translation in legal proceedings has also begun with an exchange of views between the members of the two CEPEJ working groups and Mr John Lagström of the IT Department of the National Courts Administration of Sweden and Ms Mira Kadrić, professor of interpretation and translation didactics at the University of Vienna (Austria).
