Brandeis Institute for International Judges
The Brandeis Institute for International Judges is a meeting of judges serving in international courts organized by the International Center for Ethics, Justice, and Public Life at Brandeis University . The multi-day events have been held in various countries since 2002 at an interval of around 18 months. The South African lawyer Richard Goldstone , who has worked as a judge at the South African Constitutional Court and as chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia , is a leading contributor to the organization .
It is the only institute that offers training for judges at international courts .
The aim of the institute is the exchange of views and experiences between the judges involved on current questions of theory and practice, ethical problems and legal-philosophical aspects of international jurisprudence . The meetings each have a key topic and are held in the form of several sessions. The previous meetings have received financial support from foundations such as the Ford Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation . The reports of the meetings are regularly published in the University of the Pacific Law Review .
