Description

The presentation at the 2023 "European Day of Lay Judges" in Sofia showed that lay judges are part of European legal culture. Most countries have lay judges in civil or criminal courts. The typical form lay participation takes are mixed courts where professional and lay judges collaborate. Other forms of lay participation include single judges/mediators and juries. The presentation continued to highlight the conditions under which there are changes in levels of lay participation.
