Strengthening capacity and share expertise was at the core of an exchange visit for the Palestinian High Judicial Council (HJC) Technical Office and the Jordanian Judicial Council.

The exchange, organised by EUPOL COPPS took place on 4-6 May in Amman, Jordan.

Participants discussed key topics including methods for analysing judicial precedents, preparation of specialised legal studies, database automation, and development of annual work plans. The delegation also engaged directly with different departments of the Jordanian Technical Office, gaining insight into legal research, case classification, linguistic review, and administrative processes.

The Palestinian delegation met with the Director of the Technical Office, who provided an overview of its mandate and operations, and visited the Court of Appeal’s Technical Office to learn about its working procedures. Discussions with judges and staff highlighted best practices, including the use of standardized procedural manuals to enhance consistency and institutionalization.
