JOB DESCRIPTION: 
Since the spring of 2022, the Swedish National Courts Administration (SNCA) implements a multi-year development cooperation Project together with the Academy of Justice of the Republic of Armenia (AoJ) and the Armenian Supreme Judicial Council (SJC).
The over-arching objective of the project is to support Armenian judges to meet the new expectations on the judiciary and thereby raising public trust in the judiciary.
The intermediate objectives of the Project are the following:
- Enhanced awareness among judges on ethics, anti-corruption and integrity.
- Increased professionality among judges in communication with parties and others in accordance with their needs and well-founded expectations.
- Enhanced awareness and capacity among judges to communicate proactively with media.
- Improved framework for judges' contacts with the media.
The Project takes aim at developing the craft of judging by delivering interactive skills-based trainings for judges to increase their knowledge of questions regarding ethics, anti-corruption and integrity as well as competence in pro-active communication with the parties, the public and the media. The Project also supports the development of regulations, handbooks, templates, and other practical tools for judges. All activities are based on peer-to-peer learning whereby active judges and other experts in the Swedish Courts will be engaged in the implementation of trainings, seminars, discussions, and tools development.
