Professional Training of Judges as one of the Priority Directions of Improvement of the Judicial System of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Modernization of the selection of judges system in Kazakhstan is one of the areas of judicial reforms. Modernization of the system of selection of Kazakhstan judges includes a set of measures for the selection of candidates of judges, professional training, retraining and advanced training of judges, the formation of the judicial corps and the staffing of reserve judges. In the context of the given reform, matters of development and improvement of judicial education are highly important. The efficiency of the judicial system on the administration of justice depends on the forms and methods of training of judges. The highest degree of professionalism and the deep level of legal culture of judges is first and foremost the image of a legal state. The obstacle is the lack of professional training programmes for judges. In terms of industrial-innovative development of the country, the system of legal education and legal practice must be brought into compliance with international standards of justice. Education of judges should be fundamental, specialized and continuous. However, it is required to revise the procedure for the selection and terms of entry to the judges in the Republic of Kazakhstan through the implementation of primary theoretical and practical training of future judges in accordance with the specialization of courts and judges.
