Judges, judicial assistants and court staff of the Higher Court in Niš strengthened their capacities in using Serbia’s electronic case-law database during a specialised training organised on 11 June 2026, aimed at supporting more consistent judicial practice and enhancing legal certainty.
Delivered by a Council of Europe expert, the training focused on the practical application and technical functionalities of the electronic case-law database, highlighting its importance as a tool for promoting the harmonisation of judicial practice.
During the first part of the training, court staff responsible for entering decisions into the database were introduced to functionalities related to uploading and categorising court decisions, adding descriptors and references, linking related cases, and uploading legal opinions and court bulletins. The second session was dedicated to judges and judicial assistants and focused on advanced search options, the use of descriptors and keywords, and the role of accessible and harmonised case-law in ensuring legal certainty, predictability and efficiency of judicial proceedings.
The training in Niš was the third in a series of four trainings organised across Serbia with the aim of strengthening the use of the electronic case-law database and supporting the further harmonisation of judicial practice.
The activity was organised within the joint European Union and Council of Europe programme Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye, under the action “Strengthening legal culture in Serbia and the capacities of the judicial and prosecutorial councils”.
