Summary

The draft provides for the specialization of judges in the administrative, civil or criminal field. From now on, judges will apply for office in the civil or criminal division of the county court and the administrative, civil or criminal panel of the district court. The bill modernizes the management structure of county courts. The heads of the civil department or the criminal department are appointed instead of the heads of the courthouse. Greater specialization and procedural practice of judges for harmonization, the proceedings of all registry cases will be transferred to the Tartu County Court, and a guardianship supervision department will be established in the Pärnu County Court. The bill foresees the general organization of giving feedback to judges and creates a system that supports raising the professionalism of court lawyers and preparing them for the office of judge. The bill ensures that a judge who is temporarily absent from the judicial office has the opportunity to return to his current position. With the bill the appointment of court lawyers and judicial assistants will be harmonized and movement within the system will be facilitated. According to the amendments to the bill, the chairman of the county court will also appoint assistant judges. In order to ensure the sustainability of judicial registers and a salary commensurate with the value of the work, the professional salary of judicial assistants will be increased.
