This information was revealed, being fair by the Council of Europe, being in this year, quality on the quality of the report, which were analyzed and analyzed from countries and an interactive data evaluation base (all available to the Europe).
Thus, “the trend towards the Efficiency of European Justice (CEPEJ) of the Council of Europe presents as the main protection systems of 44 European countries”, clarifying that “3 Observer States Commission and Herzegovina (27.3%) and Portugal (3% “However, both percentage points in Bosnia and Herzegov percent and 6.6 percentage points in Bosnia and Herzegov were excluded from the previous cycle”, it is possible to understand in the CEJ report.
In addition, it is also the fourth country in Europe where administrative procedures take the longest, with an estimate of 847 days in the first instance. In this parameter, it is only behind Malta (924 days), Cyprus (863) and Italy (862). Despite the registration, four years ago, these processes showed a value of 928, almost triple.
But in the second instance, the outlook is not better, insofar as the pendency of cases in the courts, where the national value rises to 877 days while the European median drops to 253, is a value that generates concern. In the higher instance, the country already has a more positive position, with a duration of 291 days and a record of 249 days in Europe. In criminal justice, everything goes back to having unpleasant contours, as we have 280 days, while the European median is 149.

She then stresses that “European lawyers are still male, but as changes in favor of women are also visible in this area”.
It also highlights that the number of lawyers is still on a growing trend in Europe (average number in 2020 is 172 lawyers per 100,000 inhabitants), but the density of lawyers varies greatly from one member state to another. Regarding the “relationship between teachers’ teachers and middle school”, “significant disparities in Europe,7 in Germany” (at the beginning/end of the career) to 6.8/21.6 in Ukraine (at the beginning/end of the career ).
“The same goes for prosecutors: from 0.8 in Ireland to 4.1 in Albania at the beginning of their careers and from 1.7 in Germany and Luxembourg to 7.8 in Georgia at the end of their careers”, he adds, clarifying that “in general and for various reasons, those of public prosecutors are inferior to”. “Between 2010 and 2020 the number of courts is decreasing in Europe, and court specialization continues to be a strong trend, even if it has slowed down in 2020”, he concludes.
