Jus ce ANTONIO T. CARPIOAc ng Chief Jus ce

Created by virtue of Supreme Court Administra ve Order No. 35-96 and ins tu onalized by reason of Republic Act No. 8557, the Philippine Judicial Academy serves as a training school for jus ces, judges, court personnel, lawyers, and aspirants to judicial posts. It conducts seminars, workshops, and other training programs for the purpose of upgrading their legal knowledge, moral fi tness, probity, effi ciency, and capability.

Unceasingly promo ng its core values of professionalism, honor, inclusiveness, leadership, and judicial training excellence, the Philippine Judicial Academy has proven to play a pivotal role in con nuing judicial educa on and in building an eff ec ve, independent, and credible Judiciary. Undoubtedly, the Academy, which is a separate component unit of the Supreme Court that operates under the la er’s administra on, supervision, and control, has contributed immensely to the advancement of judicial educa on in the Philippines. Notably, a perusal of the 2017 Annual Report of the Academy illustrates how it has pursued its vision to be a leading provider of globally relevant, responsive, and eff ec ve training for the Judiciary. It is worth highligh ng that the Academy was able to successfully conduct in 2017 a mul tude of training ac vi es and programs both in the interna onal sphere and in the local context. To be specifi c, in 2017, the Academy conducted 153 training programs and ac vi es, which involved a total of 18,197 par cipants, trained 3,708 judge-par cipants, collaborated with 14 interna onal partners as well as 37 local partners in the conduct of 69 training programs and ac vi es, and organized, facilitated, and hosted the Eighth Interna onal Conference on the Training of the Judiciary.

Without ques on, the Philippine Judicial Academy has been resolute in its commitment to develop judicial competence, ins ll sound values, and form pro-ac ve a tudes in the pursuit of judicial excellence. There is a great need to emphasize the signifi cance of constantly and relentlessly striving towards judicial excellence. To the Academy, I extend my utmost apprecia on for its hard work and eff ort to promote excellence, unity, integrity, and honor in the Judiciary.

PHILIPPINE JUDICIAL ACADEMY2

2017 was a banner year for the Academy’s vision to be a leading provider of globally relevant, responsive and eff ec ve training for the judiciary as we successfully hosted the 8th Interna onal Organiza on for Judicial Training (IOJT) Conference on the Training of the Judiciary. The Conference was a ended by 178 par cipants from 32 countries. A majority of the par cipants congratulated us for the excellent program and its seamless execu on. The event featured plenary mee ngs and parallel sessions, as well as networking ac vi es that discussed latest developments in the fi eld of judicial educa on and training. The Conference concluded with the adop on of a set of interna onal judicial training principles. The plan ng of IOJT trees at the PHILJA Training Center in Tagaytay City was a fi ng ending ritual.

As Chancellor of the Academy, I am happy to report that I was elected as a new member of the IOJT Board of Execu ves at the General Assembly. I carry this honor with the en re PHILJA as we con nue the good work in IOJT, which was began by our PHILJA Founding Chancellor Emeritus Jus ce Ameurfi na A. Melencio Herrera.

Apart from IOJT, the Academy received delega ons and welcomed study tours from the Na onal and Supreme Courts of Papua New Guinea and the United Na ons Offi ce on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) with headquarters at Bangkok, Thailand. PHILJA also co-hosted a knowledge sharing discussion on Judicial Ethics, Integrity, and Accountability par cipated in by representa ves from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam.

A delega on from the Academy visited the United States for a study tour of the Federal Judicial Center in Washington, D.C. and the Na onal Center for State Courts in Virginia. The group came home with key learnings signifi cant in the con nuing review of our curricula and other vital innova ons.

Over and above these interna onal undertakings, the local training commitments never stopped in PHILJA. With 16,655 par cipants to 111 training programs and ac vi es conducted in 2017, the Academy has further proven its reless devo on, unwavering zeal, and resolute commitment for excellence in the Judiciary.

We had Orienta on seminar-workshops for 170 newly appointed judges, 247 clerks of court, and 106 lower court employees; judicial career enhancement for judges; career enhancement programs for court personnel; mul -sectoral competency enhancement trainings, capacity

building trainings, and seminar-workshops on various specialized topics; as well as three Pre-judicature Programs (PJP) for 119 aspirants to judicial posts.

I am proud to note that to date 47 PJP graduates have become judges.

PHILJA also assisted in Conven on-Seminars of the Philippine Judges Associa on (PJA), Philippine Women Judges Associa on (PWJA), Philippine Trial Judges League, Inc. (PTJLI), Metropolitan and City Judges Associa on of the Philippines (MeTCJAP), Court Stenographers Associa on of the Philippines, Process Servers Associa on of the Philippines (PROSAPHIL), and Sheriff s Confedera on of the Philippines (SCOPHIL).

Our very own PHILJA Vice Chancellor, Jus ce Romeo J. Callejo, Sr., took center stage with his presenta on of a groupwork en tled “Judicial Accountability and Disciplinary Ac on: Now and Beyond” at the year’s Metrobank Founda on Professorial Chair Lecture.

Alongside the Academy’s hec c training calendar, the Philippine Media on Center Offi ce delivered with 24,234 successfully mediated cases via Court-Annexed Media on (CAM), Mobile Court-Annexed Media on (MCAM), and Appellate Court Media on (ACM). It also accredited with the Supreme Court 53 media on trainees and re-trained 211 mediators.

The PMCO did the groundwork for the revision of CAM and Judicial Dispute Resolu on (JDR) Guidelines, as well as media on in the Court of Tax Appeals. The tasks at hand for PMCO are great, but we are confi dent these will be accomplished with blazing colors.

The frui ul year reinforced the importance and value of the support given to PHILJA by the Honorable Supreme Court and the en re Judiciary and by our development partners. It highlighted the strength of the Academy with everyone coopera ng and working together on new challenges, while remaining steadfast to the duty to our stakeholders.

With God’s help, we shall con nue to do all these in the coming years.

All the best.

VICE CHANCELLOR

As we look back on an even ul 2017, we feel a profound sense of pride in our ins tu on.

Bolstering our role as the educa on arm of the Supreme Court, we have implemented a series of notable landmark ini a ves, and reached, if not surpassed, our ambi ous targets.

This annual report documents the produc ve outputs geared towards the fulfi llment of our mandate. It also highlights the organiza onal milestones and fi nancial overviews of the Academy.

A way to visualize the ul mate goals and the desired journey of our ins tu on, the PHILJA Strategic Roadmap was unveiled to coincide with the 21st PHILJA Anniversary en tled “We are One @ 21.”

Apart from the training programs which we have been conduc ng through the years, we off ered three new regular training programs and seven new special focus programs in Judicial Educa on as well as fi ve new programs in Alterna ve Dispute Resolu on.

Expanding our geographical reach, we spearheaded the conduct of the Eighth Interna onal Conference on the Training of the Judiciary, and the Roundtable Discussion on Knowledge Sharing on Judicial Ethics, Integrity and Accountability.

While we acknowledge the annual produc vity, we are looking forward to con nuing our growth in the succeeding years.

For the highly successful year, I would like to give credit to the vision-oriented and dedicated PHILJA offi cials and employees led by our Chancellor, the Honorable Re red Jus ce Adolfo S. Azcuna, for their invaluable eff orts. Without them, the success of the Philippine Judicial Academy could not have been achieved.

As a fi nal note, I would like to thank the Supreme Court, PHILJA Board of Trustees and other stakeholders for the all-out and con nued support in all our endeavors.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Mabuhay ang Korte Suprema!

The Supreme Court, through the Philippine Judicial Academy, hosted the Eighth Interna onal Conference on the Training of the Judiciary on 5–9 November at the Shangri-La at The Fort in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, the fi rst Interna onal Organiza on for Judicial Training (IOJT) Conference held in Asia.

Supreme Court of the Philippines Chief Jus ce Maria Lourdes P. A. Sereno graced the opening ceremonies and warmly welcomed the a endees and guests from the 32 par cipa ng countries. She said in her keynote message that “it is a great honor on the part of the Supreme Court of the Philippines to host this monumental occasion as it affi rms the Philippine judiciary’s commitment to collaborate and cooperate with global counterparts in pursuance of the IOJT’s objec ve of promo ng the Rule of Law by suppor ng the work of judicial educa on ins tu ons around the world.”

Since the fi rst IOJT Conference on Training for the Judiciary was held in Jerusalem in 2002, Chief Jus ce Sereno added that “we have in the past decade and a half shared, discussed, and analyzed signifi cant sundry issues in the fi eld of judicial educa on. From the key guidelines to be followed in publishing bench books, to challenges and opportuni es facing the need for technical exper se and perspec ves of the judiciaries of Singapore, Pakistan, and Nepal in the orienta on and training of their judges to the current development in the methodology of judicial training in Europe as well as best prac ces in the member states of the European Union, in training their judges and prosecutors; from the impact of social context in Canadian judicial educa on to the Belgian experience in the management training of magistrates; from gender-sensi vity, globaliza on, and good prac ces to the role of academic collabora ons and enhancing and enriching judicial experience and educa on.”

Chief Jus ce Sereno also said that “while it is impera ve that we who are at the forefront of policy formula on and implementa on in our respec ve judiciaries ac vely seek novel approaches in the improvement of judicial administra on, it is more crucial that we do not lose sight of the reason behind our common objec ve of improving effi ciency and accuracy in our judicial processes, and that is the protec on of the Rule of Law and the human rights of our people. Thus as we here remain pro-ac ve proponents of the advancement of the quality of judicial

educa on, we likewise must remain mindful that we are doing so in order to have a direct impact on the protec on of the life, liberty, and security of ordinary people.”

The Chief Jus ce also underscored that the judiciary can only be a judiciary worthy of its name if its pronouncements are undergirded by core values that are rooted in its commitment to the dignity of the human being and the respect that such dignity commands.

“These core values that uphold the dignity of the human being are what makes for the rule of law,” according to Chief Jus ce Sereno. “And it is the Rule of Law that will allow human society to con nue in a spirit of solidarity. The Rule of Law in any me and in any context will allow humanity to not only survive

but to fl ourish in peace and prosperity. It is my hope that the future of the human race, how well it survives and develops, is in large part in the good hands of the judiciary,” Chief Jus ce Sereno said.

Meanwhile, IOJT President and re red jus ce of the Supreme Court of Israel Eliezer Rivlin provided a brief history of the IOJT in his opening message. “Fi een years ago, a group of judicial training ins tutes of 10 countries met to inaugurate the fi rst Interna onal Organiza on for Judicial Training,” he said. “But, 20 years ago, judicial educators who came together in Sao Paulo, Brazil had a vision to work for the benefi t of the interna onal community by promo ng judicial training, ethics and principles that would try to help judicial educators throughout the world. Here in the Philippines, a fi nal dra of the universal ethics and principles will be presented to us at this Conference,” Jus ce Rivlin added.

Jus ce Rivlin also noted that “the vision of the founding fathers is now shared by 129 members from 79 countries that are all willing to let their voices heard and to share their experiences for the benefi t of the interna onal community.”

The three-and-a-half-day IOJT Conference gathered 178 par cipants, including 38 Philippine judges and 33 local delegates. Ms. Mary Campbell McQueen, IOJT Secretary General and President of the Na onal Center for State Courts, was also present.


Gathered under the theme “Judicial Educa on 2025 – Core Values and Future Innova ons,” the delegates discussed best prac ces, emerging issues and the latest developments in the fi eld of judicial educa on and trainings during the Conference’s 2 plenary mee ngs and 22 parallel sessions that featured magistrates, senior judicial offi cials and judicial educa on leaders from diff erent parts of the world as speakers, panelists, moderators and facilitators.

The Interna onal Judicial Training Principles, developed by a dis nguished IOJT Work Group, was presented to and approved by the delegates during the third day of the Conference. This declara on provides a number of judicial training guiding principles, elucida ng how IOJT members conceptualize and implement judicial training in their respec ve jurisdic on.

The delegates also visited the PHILJA Training Center in Tagaytay City on 7 November. Jus ce Rivlin and PHILJA Chancellor Jus ce Adolfo S. Azcuna, led the plan ng of the IOJT trees at the front of the lodging building. Four sessions were later held at the Computer Training Room, Global Distance Learning Center, Auditorium, and Lecture Rooms 1 and 2 of the PTC.

The Conference also showcased the best of Filipino hospitality, talent and ar stry during the various cultural and social events, including the superb performance of El Gamma Penumbra, a Filipino shadow play dance group, who was declared Asia’s Got Talent First Grand Winner in 2015.

On 8th November 2017, the members of the Interna onal Organiza on for Judicial Training (IOJT), composed of 129 judicial training ins tu ons from 79 countries, have unanimously adopted the following declara on.

The declara on sets out guiding principles for judicial training that refl ect how IOJT members conceptualize and strive to implement judicial training. The principles are both the common base and the horizon uni ng judicial training ins tu ons throughout the world, regardless of the diversity of judicial systems.

The IOJT encourages all judicial training ins tu ons and those involved in judicial training to use these principles as a founda on and source of inspira on, and also as a common framework guiding their judicial training

ac vi es. The IOJT also encourages judicial training ins tu ons to support each other in the implementa on of this declara on.

The term “judiciary” as used in this document may include prosecutors, defenders/defense counsel, court staff and others, depending on the jus ce system.

The term “judicial training” is used in this document to accord with the name of the organiza on. It is recognized that the expression used may vary, including

“judicial educa on,” “judicial development,” “judicial cul va on.”

The term “state” in this document encompasses na onal poli cal en es, but also federate states or any regional public en ty, according to the na onal context.

DECLARATION OF JUDICIAL TRAINING PRINCIPLES

PREAMBLE

A 1. Judicial training is essen al to ensure high standards of competence and performance. Judicial training is fundamental to judicial independence, the rule of law, and the protec on of the rights of all people.

The founda on of an impar al judiciary is the independence of the judiciary. Judicial independence embodies two principles: 1) a set of ins tu onal arrangements so that the judiciary as a branch of government is free from interference; and 2) an independent unbiased mindset for individual judges. This la er principle ensures that judges do their work free from undue or improper infl uences. It is also this second principle that engages with judicial training. For the public to support and protect judicial independence, it must be sa sfi ed that judges not only act impar ally and competently in understanding and applying the law, but also that they do their work eff ec vely, effi ciently and fairly, adhering to the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. For that reason, judicial training must encompass law, non-legal knowledge, skills, social context, values and ethics.

PRINCIPLES

A 2. To preserve judicial independence, the judiciary and judicial training ins tu ons should be responsible for the design, content, and delivery of judicial training.

Judicial independence requires freedom from undue or improper infl uence over judicial training. Given that seminars and resources, such as benchbooks, have the poten al to infl uence judges’ conduct and decisions, the content and delivery of judicial training must be off ered free from any undue or improper infl uence from any en ty that could benefi t, including funding authori es, lawmakers, government execu ves, the poli cally and fi nancially powerful, and others.

INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK


The Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct reinforce the point that the judiciary and judicial training ins tu ons should be responsible for the design, content, and delivery of judicial training. Value 1: Independence states in part, “Judicial independence is a pre-requisite to the rule of law x x x” Applica on 1.1 adds: “A judge shall exercise the judicial func on independently x x x free of any extraneous infl uences, inducements, pressures, threats or interference, direct or indirect, from any quarter or for any reason.” In addi on, Value 6: Competence and Diligence, Applica on 6.3, states: “A judge shall take reasonable steps to maintain and enhance the judge’s knowledge, skills, and personal quali es necessary for the proper performance of judicial du es, taking advantage for this purpose of the training and other facili es which should be made available, under judicial control, to judges.”

Training ins tu ons with responsibility for the design, content, and delivery of judicial training should, of course, be accountable to the public and funders for the integrity of their training programs and their stewardship of public funds. They should, for example, conduct regular training needs assessments as part of curriculum and seminar planning. The needs assessment should include what stakeholders other than judges think judges need to learn. Judicial training ins tu ons should also evaluate their training programs to ensure their quality and eff ec veness.

By using established best prac ces, such as conduc ng needs assessments and evalua ons, the judiciary and judicial training ins tu ons can preserve independence and autonomy in providing their training.

A 3. Judicial leaders and the senior judiciary should support judicial training.

This principle focuses on two aspects:

• Promo on of judicial training within the judiciary

• Involvement of high-level judges in judicial training

1) Promo on of judicial training by judicial leaders

“Judicial leaders” refers to the highest judicial authori es or judicial decision-making en es, such as the high judicial councils or supreme courts.

It is of utmost importance that such ins tu ons support and promote judicial training. As leading en es, they should encourage judges to be trained throughout their me on the bench, and reaffi rm that training is necessary to all judges, including the most experienced and highly skilled (who, given their posi on in the judiciary, can show that training is neither a sign of weakness nor simply for underperforming judges, but rather an ongoing necessity for every judge).

Judicial leaders should also be vigilant about implemen ng Principle 4 (below), which enjoins that judges must collec vely be given the opportunity to undertake training. When possible, these ins tu ons should use their leadership posi on to make sure this principle is applied.

One way of doing this is to take training into considera on when deciding on judicial appointments and promo ons; this would cons tute a good incen ve for judges to get trained and therefore maintain their eff ec veness. This prac ce would also support Principle 6, which states that training is both a right and a duty for judges.

The highest judicial authori es should be involved in the overall process of judicial training and, where relevant, in the life of their judicial training ins tu on. This involvement will vary depending on how the judicial training system is organized, and on na onal tradi ons, but serves to guarantee both the respect of judicial independence (see Principle 2) and the judicial authori es’ ongoing support of judicial training.

“Judicial leaders” also refers to heads of courts.

Heads of court should also support the training of their judges by encouraging them to seek judicial training on a regular basis throughout their career (see Principle 7).

Several countries are dealing with insuffi cient staffi ng in their judiciary. The increased workload for individual judges, and the judicial backlog that can result, make it diffi cult for judges to take on judicial training without increasing delays. However, it is in the best interests of na ons and their jus ce systems to have well-trained and effi cient judges; me taken for training will increase the quality of rulings as well as the produc vity of judges. Heads of court should not prevent judges from seeking judicial training unless there are excep onal circumstances.

2) Involvement of senior judges in judicial training

As individuals, senior judges must be involved in judicial training.

Since judicial training includes law, non-legal knowledge, skills, social context, values and ethics (Principle 8), it contains dimensions of experience-sharing and guidance by recognized professionals. Senior judges have an important role to play in transmi ng prac ces and tradi ons to less senior members of the judiciary in their judiciary.

This does not mean that most or all judicial trainers have to be senior judges (see Principle 9), since one does not have to be a senior judge to be a good trainer. But senior judges should devote their experience, moral authority, and hindsight—which are irreplaceable and necessary—to the training of their fellow judges.

A 4. All states should:

(i) Provide their ins tu ons responsible for judicial training with suffi cient funding and other resources to achieve their aims and objec ves; and

(ii) Establish systems to ensure that all members of the judiciary are enabled to undertake training. States should ensure that judicial training ins tu ons are provided with suffi cient funding and other resources to ensure their autonomy (that is, to enable them to implement their mandate without depending on others for funding).

Funding and resources should cover:

• Opera ng costs, including (among other necessi es) premises suitable for judicial training and equipped with modern tools (i.e., computers and other technology)

• High-quality human resources, encompassing professional and support staff .

Judges need con nual training during their professional life to enhance and add to their competencies, and perhaps to develop a specializa on. This need should be refl ected and anchored in the mandate of judicial training ins tu ons.


To implement this principle, the state should enable judges to undertake training during their working hours. This can only be achieved if there are concrete mechanisms in place to: a) make it possible for judges to take days off from their work without suff ering any nega ve impact on their posi on, and b) pay for judges’ a endance at educa on seminars and other training courses.

A 5. Any support provided to judicial training should be u lized in accordance with these principles, and in coordina on with ins tu ons responsible for judicial training.

There is a wide range of possible funding sources for judicial training ac vi es. In addi on to their own resources, judicial training ins tu ons may receive fi nancial support from: local public or private sector agencies (such as execu ve branches or non-governmental organiza ons), other judicial branches in the region, mul lateral or interna onal coopera on agencies, and state agencies from other countries, among others.

The ins tu ons responsible for judicial training should coordinate the design and development of the ac vi es. There are two reasons for this. One, the aforemen oned external sources are not necessarily familiar with the local reality; the courses and content they deliver might not align with the more pressing training needs on the ground. Two, it is possible that funding agencies have their own agendas through which they wish to project infl uence locally; this would be counterproduc ve to the planning and goals established by the judicial training ins tu on.

Preferably, coordina on between funding sources and the ins tu ons responsible for judicial training should include: oversight of the iden fi ca on of training needs; development of the methodology and teaching profi le; the delivery of the course; and evalua on of par cipants and the course itself. There should be appropriate mechanisms to ensure that the training ins tu on maintains control over donors’ work, including through reports that donors would be required to submit, all so as to preserve judicial independence.

TRAINING AS PART OF THE JUDICIAL ROLE

A 6. It is the right and the responsibility of all members of the judiciary to undertake training. Each member of the judiciary should have me to be involved in training as part of their judicial work.

Ongoing training must be considered an integral component of judicial du es. The responsibility for ensuring sa sfactory judicial training rests with three bodies: the state; judicial leaders; and judges themselves. The state must ensure that the infrastructure is in place to permit judges to a end judicial training seminars throughout their me on the bench. In prac cal terms, this means appoin ng enough judges to give each judge me to undertake training, and providing fi nancial support to the judicial training ins tu ons or other bodies providing judicial educa on.

Judicial leaders must advocate with the execu ve branch so that the la er fulfi lls its responsibili es. In addi on, the judicial leadership must support and encourage judges by giving them suffi cient me away from their si ng schedule to a end judicial training events and to par cipate as faculty at those events. Judicial leaders must support the judicial

training ins tu on by taking part in governance in whatever way is locally suitable, and by encouraging judges to become involved in the design and teaching of judicial training.

Judges have the responsibility to a end training events and, where possible, to volunteer to work on judicial training as a designer, presenter, facilitator or in some other capacity. Judges must be lifelong learners, iden fying their needs throughout their judicial career and par cipa ng in training to meet those needs.

A 7. All members of the judiciary should receive training before or upon their appointment, and should also receive regular training throughout their careers.

This principle acknowledges the importance of pre-service and in-service training for judges.

1) Pre-service training

Beyond having pure legal knowledge, judges must master specifi c professional skills. Those skills may vary according to country and era, but include some universal competencies, such as the ability to: analyze a situa on or a case; iden fy and apply ethical rules; and make a sensible, enforceable decision that is adapted to its context.

Whatever the professional background of newly appointed judges or future judges, it is necessary to train them on those essen al skills, which cannot all have been acquired during their academic studies or previous work. That is why Principle 7 acknowledges the necessity of pre-service training for all judges.

This principle does not intend to standardize the training judges receive before or upon their appointment, as this will diff er according to state and legal system.

In most civil law countries, future judges are recruited from among the best legal students or young professionals in the fi eld. Their lack of experience is compensated for by the length of their training, which usually lasts several years and nowadays is regarded as an utmost necessity in those countries.

In common law countries, judges are appointed or elected from among recognized lawyers with an extensive professional background and experience in handling judicial cases. Pre-service training usually lasts for a few weeks and aims to provide judges with the fundamental skills they did not have the opportunity to put into prac ce as lawyers.

Despite the experience and qualifi ca ons of newly appointed judges in common law countries, those skills have to be acquired before or upon appointment, as this principle states.

Ideally, pre-service training should take place before the judge fi rst sits. This is the case in most states. However, in some common law countries where judges are not numerous, pre-service training can be organized in the fi rst months a er judges take on their new role. This principle takes a prac cal approach by using the wording “before or upon their appointment.”

2) In-service training

Given that socie es and their legal landscapes are constantly evolving, pre-service judicial training cannot be regarded as suffi cient to ensure judges work eff ec vely and effi ciently throughout their me on the bench, no ma er the quality and dura on of this ini al training.


It is a judge’s duty to keep informed of changes to legisla on and relevant case-law. Judicial training can help judges stay up-to-date, especially given the heavy workload judges face in some cases.

A dedicated judicial training framework also makes it possible for judges to exchange with their peers about ethics and best prac ces, and to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the society they serve. Such a framework is necessary for the judiciary to evolve at the same pace as society.

For judges to stay up-to-date, develop and hone their judicial skills, and exchange ideas with their peers, regular judicial training should con nue throughout their en re career.

TRAINING CONTENT AND METHODOLOGY

A 8. Acknowledging the complexity of the judicial role, judicial training should be mul disciplinary and include training in law, non-legal knowledge, skills, social context, values and ethics.

Although it is clearly essen al for every judge to know and understand the relevant law, it is also cri cal to acknowledge that the law and legal principles do not exist in a vacuum. Judges operate publicly within society, and interact on a day-to-day basis with other human beings – li gants, witnesses, and legal representa ves. Judicial training should therefore not be limited to addressing principles of law.

To ensure confi dence in the judicial process, judicial training should assist all members of the judiciary to acquire and develop the skills needed to adopt an inclusive approach. Social context training is an important facet of judicial training, providing an apprecia on of the human condi on and the society within which judges operate. This includes the tenet that judges must deal fairly with everyone, whether or not they have legal representa on. To that end, judicial training should be mul disciplinary.

Judges enter the judiciary with their own values, opinions, preconcep ons and prejudices. Judicial training should ins ll within members of the judiciary a degree of open-mindedness–and readiness to acknowledge and address their own preconcep ons and prejudices to ensure that these do not taint the judicial process.

Judicial training should meet modern and emerging challenges.

A 9. Training should be judge-led and delivered primarily by members of the judiciary who have been trained for this purpose. Training delivery may involve non-judicial experts where appropriate.

Judicial training should be judge-led, meaning that members of the judiciary have authority over the design, content, and delivery of the training. As such, any judge who is involved in the crea on and delivery of judicial training should themselves be trained by their judicial training ins tu on in the principles of adult learning and the wide range of learning formats. This is known as a program of training the trainers.

Adhering to this principle will enhance and protect judicial independence and ensure training is directly relevant to the professional needs of judges.

Judge-led training does not preclude the involvement of experts, academics, and other specialists who can enhance and supplement training, providing that any such external involvement is at all mes under the authority and management of the judiciary.

A 10. Judicial training should refl ect best prac ces in professional and adult training program design. It should employ a wide range of up-to-date methodologies.

Developing a judicial educa on program should follow a cycle with set stages: 1) needs assessment; 2) design and implementa on; and 3) evalua on.

The ini al, and most cri cal, is the needs assessment, to determine the training needs of individual judges and of the judiciary as a whole. The next stage involves se ng training objec ves, preparing a plan, designing the program (methodology) and implemen ng it. The fi nal stage is evalua on, to gauge the reac on of trainees and to measure learning results, i.e., increase in knowledge or skill, changes in approach or behavior, and eff ects on environment or society as a result of the trainee’s par cipa on. The evalua on demonstrates to what extent training needs have been met, and iden fi es further training needs.

Implementa on of such a cycle should be a systema c, robust, and comprehensive process, regularly reviewed and updated. In addi on, best prac ces – techniques or strategies proven to have the highest degree of eff ec veness, supported by objec ve and comprehensive research – should be sought and used at all stages of the training cycle.

The training should be trainee-oriented. It is vital that judges have a confi den al forum at judicial training seminars, to be able to exchange ideas freely and develop skills in a safe space. Experien al learning is understood to involve learning through concrete experience, through observa on and refl ec on, and by forming abstract concepts and tes ng them in new situa ons. Findings in andragogy (the way adult professionals learn) have generated the need for new modes of training: prac cal, experien al, and in-person. This includes coaching and mentoring, on-the-job learning, and learning by doing.

Judicial training must employ a range of methodologies, making use of a variety of up-to-date training formats with a tailor-made approach, which means selec ng a format that meets the needs of the par cipants, and having a set group of learning outcomes. The principles behind the various training methods should be well understood in order to apply them eff ec vely. In such a mul faceted approach, electronic tools and informa on technology play an important role. Judicial training should make op mum use of new technologies, distance/online learning (complementary when appropriate), and electronic media.

Research and Other Ac vi es

PHILJA, through the Research and Development Division of the Research, Publica ons and Linkages Offi ce was tapped by the Commi ee on Legal Educa on and Bar Ma ers’ (CLEBM) Subcommi ee on Maintenance of Bar Membership to: (1) review the current framework on the regula on of the legal profession in the Philippines; (2) review the current requirements for members of the Philippine Bar to be in good standing; and (3) study the necessity and feasibility of ins tu onalizing specialized prac ce in a fi eld of law including possible enforcement and regulatory mechanism.

Research and Development

Revision of Sheriff ’s Handbook

To prevent decisions from becoming empty victories, sheriff s are tasked to execute fi nal judgments of the courts. Insofar as performing their du es are concerned, sheriff s are expected to know the rules of procedure pertaining to their func ons as offi cers of the court. To guide the sheriff s in the performance of their tasks, the Philippine Judicial Academy produced the Handbook for Sheriff s in 1999, which was later updated in 2003.

With the accumula on of latest issuances, guidelines and jurisprudence involving the tasks of sheriff s since 2003, RPLO, through its Research Sec on, was tasked by the Academic Council to update the Handbook.

A technical working group was cons tuted, composed of Head of the RPLO as Chairperson; a representa ve from the Offi ce of the Court Administrator (OCA) – member; an Execu ve Judge (to be determined by OCA) – member; a Clerk of Court being an ex offi cio sheriff (to be determined by OCA) – member; and, two representa ves of Sheriff ’s Confedera on of the Philippines (SCOPHIL) as members. The TWG began working on the project on 22 June 2017, in close coordina on with the Head of the RPLO Dean Sedfrey M. Candelaria, who is also the project director and chairperson of the TWG. The Research Sec on of the RPLO acted as the TWG secretariat. The TWG conducted seven regular mee ngs, one survey, one focus group discussion with various stakeholders, especially the target users, through the selected members of SCOPHIL. A valida on workshop was held on 20 September 2017 to present the dra outline and proposed content of the revised Handbook to selected judges, clerks of court, and sheriff s. Jus ce Magdangal De Leon, a PHILJA Professor and expert on procedural law, and A y. Arturo V. Noblejas as OCA representa ve were invited as resource persons during the valida on workshop. The outputs gathered from the valida on workshop were consolidated and, together with the results of the survey, used as the basis for the revisions to be incorporated in the dra revised Handbook.

PHILJA Hymnby Fr. Ranhilio C. Aquino, PhD, JurDr

They ascend the dais

Our ministers of the law

At the Bench they preside

Our High Priests of Jus ce

To the plaint of all they must give ear

And to all who before them stand

They must render right and redress the wrong.

Refrain

To imbue their hearts with a passion for jus ce

To set their souls ablaze with zeal for the law

To nurture them in the truth

And to steel them in adversity

Thus, we swear to serve at the

Philippine Judicial Academy.

Respect for the law

In all they must impress

Confi dence in its processes

They must in all inspire

With mo ves pure and conscience clear

Render jus ce as the law ordains

At the Supreme Court’s Academy, this is our pledge.

PHILJA Prayerby Fr. Ranhilio C. Aquino, PhD, JurDr

Father of the Eternal Word,

the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever,

You call forth from all crea on,

all that is noblest and most exalted.

In Your people’s thirst for jus ce,

we recognize a yearning for Your Kingdom,

When we, Your sons and daughters,

render unto each other that which is due and fair,

we serve You and conform ourselves

to Your Holy Will.

Grant that through us,

Your servants at the Philippine Judicial Academy,

the courts of our land may be so permeated

by Your Spirit

and strive for excellence in the Judiciary,

so that there may be established among us,

a reign of jus ce and of profound

respect for the rights of all.

Make us instruments of jus ce and equity,

by serving with competence and ardor,

so that all may see Your hand at work in our world,

and Your compassion guiding us

through PHILJA’s history.
