Judgement-drafting and Training on Legal Writing in the Republic of Moldova

April 7, 2021

This report was drafted in the frame of a project financed by the U.S. Embassy and implemented by UNDP Moldova. The project aims to increase the overall quality of judgements and legal drafting in the Republic of Moldova; the report provides an assessment of current practices in the area of the judgement drafting and describes (perceived) shortcomings. It also depicts the way legal writing is taught at the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the institution mandated to train future judges and prosecutors, and furnishes recommendations with a view to improving the training offered.
