On 25-26 April, 2017 Council of Europe, within the EU funded project, organised a study visit for the 13^th group of High School of Justice students.

The aim of the study visit was to get acquainted the 13^th group of the High School of Justice with recent case-law of the European Court of Human Rights against Georgia, as well as with the activities of the Council of Europe institutions and bodies.

During the visit meetings were carried out with representatives of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ), Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA), European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) and Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights.

As a result of the study visit future judges will be able to better apply European case-law in their daily work.
