- Teresa Magno, Eurojust
- Lina Aksu, Eurojust

Digitalisation of notaries' training
- Wojciech Postulski, Moderator
- Peter Stelmaszczyk, President of the Council of the Notariats of the European Union (CNUE)
- Marc Wilmus, Chair of the CNUE "Training" Steering Committee
- Representative of the Spanish Notariat
- Andrea Grisilla, CNUE Project Manager
The Council of the Notariats of the European Union (CNUE) plays a leading role in the training of notaries. Over the past decade, on its initiative, several thousand European notaries have had the opportunity to follow training courses in European law or in the law of another Member State. These initiatives have spread to the national level: the national Chambers are also increasingly offering such training courses which, in the long term, will enable the establishment of a European culture of notarial training.
Of course, considerable efforts are being made to adapt the training offer to the needs and realities of the field. Today, digitalisation permeates all the activities of the notaries, whether in their relations with citizens, businesses or administrations: creation and interconnection of registers, dematerialisation of data transfer, setting up companies online, deployment of e-signatures, electronic authentic instruments, videoconferencing and others.
As a result, training methods are evolving to identify concrete needs, the skills to be acquired and the tools to be developed. The workshop will be an opportunity to present the new CNUE e-learning platform, open to all European notaries, as well as an example of national good practice with anti-money laundering training videos produced by the Spanish notariat.

Vigilance regarding the use of digital tool: AI and the Rule of Law
- Wojciech Postulski, Moderator
- Prateek Sibal, Programme Specialist for AI, Emerging Tech and Internet Governance at UNESCO
In 2021, Judicial operators in 100 countries expressed interest in learning about AI and the rule of law in a survey launched as part of UNESCO’s Judges Initiative. Judicial operators worldwide requested capacity building support in two domains: the use of AI in judicial systems as an administrative and assistive tool and the legal implications of AI in society in general.
In response to these needs, UNESCO launched its Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on AI and the Rule of Law with the National Judicial College, United States that has reached 4500 judicial operators in 7 languages in 138 countries. The workshop will introduce this course to the participants and share how it can be used for capacity building at the national level. The session will also discuss how judicial operators in the EU can engage with other UNESCO tools for the judiciary like the upcoming train-the-trainer manual on AI and the webinars on generative AI, intellectual property, metaverse and artificial intelligence related evidence.

Special attention will be given to Infocuria, the search engine, in order to present its functionalities and the most efficient ways to perform searches.
DIGICOR Scenarios and Training Course on the implementation of 15 digital technologies in prisons and probation
- Wojciech Postulski, Moderator
- Rhianon Williams, DIGICOR Project Manager, Bremen Justice Ministry, Germany
- Pedro Das Neves, Executive director of IPS Innovative Prison Systems and editor of JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine
The COVID-19 pandemic was a critical turning point for prison and probation administrations’ relationship with technology. Post crisis, space must be made to sift and transfer knowledge and practice initiatives between member state administrations and prisons. Staff training needs to keep pace with new technological developments, and this workshop will showcase the DIGICOR initiative. Its objective is to provide an open-access training course developed by practitioners for front line prison and probation staff, and trainers.
This workshop will present:
- DIGICOR’s real-world ‘digital scenarios’ showcasing tech use in prison and probation.
- The modular, open-access DIGICOR training course for front line staff and their trainers.
- All available resources on https://digicor-corrections.eu/
Technology enhanced teaching & learning at the Law Society of Ireland
- Wojciech Postulski, Moderator
- TP Kennedy, Director of Education, Law Society of Ireland
- Rory O’Boyle, Solicitor, Law Society of Ireland
- Caroline Kennedy, IT Manager, Law Society of Ireland
The objective of this workshop is to demonstrate how technology can be used to significantly enhance the learning experience for lawyers, both at the initial qualification stage and indeed for continued professional development (CPD) post qualification. We showcase how we have used the iPad as a bespoke teaching & learning tool for almost ten years, thus ensuring that what is taught to our students at pre-qualification level also reflects the changes occurring in the day-to-day practice of law and the administration of justice. We then describe our adaptation of technological resources during the pandemic to ensure the successful online delivery of our entire solicitor training programme, including the provision of online skills training and online examinations. Finally we review how the lessons learnt during the pandemic with regard to the use of technology can be leveraged post-pandemic to provide new more flexible routes to qualification and more accessible CPD offerings through ‘blended’ learning opportunities.
