Ways to achieve

  • Community We strive to unite Bulgarian judges and, together, achieve the necessary and sufficient change in the judicial system, strengthen our standing, and restore public trust in the administration of justice.
  • Projects and Stating Positions We possess ideas, experience, and knowledge regarding judicial models in Europe and around the world, and we are seeking the right path to implement them in our country. We provide our colleagues with the opportunity to express their views on current issues. We participate in the process of fostering democratic values ​​within society.
  • Cooperation As members of the International Association of Women Judges, we have access to a network spanning over 140 countries and seek solutions to global challenges in the administration of justice. Many of us are also members of European judicial cooperation networks. We employ a joint cooperation agreement model and collaborate with established experts in the fields of legal technology, legal education, psychology, and pedagogy. We would like to participate in the working groups of the Supreme Judicial Council, the National Assembly, and the Ministry of Justice, and contribute to the development of modern legal acts that are well-tailored to national specificities.
