Calendar of activities

The pan-European legal seminars will focus on specific aspects of cross-border civil and criminal law matters. They will be held in English and will be hosted by the consortium in various EU Member States. A fair balance between the topics of the seminars will be sought – five seminars dealing with EU civil law, five with EU criminal law and one with legal writing. They will be offered at two different levels, introductory and advanced.

Each event will have a duration of 1.5 days and will be attended by max. 30 participants from different EU Member States.

In parallel to the organisation of the purely legal seminars, a series of ten English language training events will be implemented (five focusing on EU civil law and five on EU criminal law). The legal English training events will be conducted by professional linguists together with legal experts. All experts will have at their disposal the training materials (case studies and linguistic manuals) specially developed for the implementation of these training events.

Each event will have a duration of 2.5 days and will be addressed to maximum 24 court staff and bailiffs from various EU Member States.

Registration

Participation is on selection and free of charge. The number of places available is limited. Interested court staff may register via their respective national training institutions. Interested bailiffs may register via UEHJ. Participants should have a working knowledge of English.

Travel & Accommodation

Participants will receive a fixed contribution towards their travel and accommodation expenses and are asked to book their own travel and accommodation. The condition for payment of this contribution is to sign all attendance sheets at the event.
No supporting documents are needed. The amount of the contribution will be determined by the EU unit cost calculation guidelines, which are based on the distance from the participant’s place of work to the seminar location and will not take account of the participant’s actual travel and accommodation costs.

Successful applicants will be sent the relevant claim form and information on how to obtain payment of the contribution to their expenses. Please note that no payment is possible if the registered participant cancels their participation for any reason.

Other services

Beverages consumed during the event, lunch(es) and one joint dinner are offered by ERA. No per diems will be offered.
