Our web-based Database for the Register of Magistrates is a pilot model proposed by the organization AIS as a model for the state institutions, which are required to create a Register of Magistrates. The Justice Reform is strongly connected with the need for public monitoring and trust in the integrity of the members of the Justice System.

 

Our web-based Database for the Register of Magistrates is part of one of our fund-raising projects for 2021. Our website and the software solution are created by AIS team and funded by OSFA through a project of several months in 2019. During 2020, the maintenance of the website and the updating of the magistrates’’ profiles was carried out on volunteer basis by the organization AIS.
