Young Barristers is introducing a new mechanism for the public to evaluate court decisions.

23 May, 2022

Young Barristers is initiating a new project to provide a public discussion forum for court rulings. The goal is to analyze the soundness of judgements, promote judicial accountability, and adapt individual judges' views.

According to the "young barristers," members from the legal profession, including lawyers and experts, will be asked to participate in the public control of court judgments discussion format, with whom the final or current decisions will be debated. The format and discussion process will be broadcast live, and opinions on the decision will be submitted in the form of recommendations to Georgia's High Council of Justice, which is responsible for the administration of justice, as well as the executive and legislative branches, international organizations, and corporations.

According to the organization, in recent years, there has been an increase in criticism of particular court rulings and judges' work. The court's first responsibility is to figure out what the plaintiff wants from the defendant. The goal of justice is to restore persons' or legal entities' rights. The court renders a judgement "on behalf of Georgia," implying that institutional and individual faith in a judge dispensing justice are both required.  The legality, explanation, and openness of the judgments taken are effective ways to generate confidence, as any unresolved issues in the process raise legitimate suspicions about the institution's and judge's impartiality and independence. The organization's new format will serve to demonstrate this relevance, critique, or need.

The main mechanism through which people can examine the transparency of court decisions is through public control of the court.

As part of a new initiative, Young Barristers will host a new format in June 2022. The public will also be informed about the requirements that a court judgment must fulfill in order to be regarded in the format that has been presented.
