School of superiore della magistratura
The Scuola superiore della magistratura (SSM) is an Italian university that is responsible for the education and training of judges and prosecutors . The campus is located in the Villa di Castel Pulci in Scandicci near Florence . The administrative seat is in Rome .
history
Until 1973, Italian judges and prosecutors generally received on-the-job training. The Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura (CSM), the self-governing body of judges and public prosecutors, then organized the training and further education until 2012 when the Scuola superiore della magistratura was opened.
Admission, training and further education
The prerequisite for admission to the selection process is a five-year university course in law and a two-year postgraduate course at a Scuola di specializzazione per le professioni legali or a doctorate (dottorato di ricerca) . Under certain circumstances, the postgraduate degrees can be replaced by relevant work experience; This applies above all to senior civil servants, university lecturers and lawyers as well as honorary judges.
Those who pass the selection process are initially employed as magistrato ordinario on probation. The old entrance office uditore giudiziario or “judicial auditor” has been abolished. This is followed by an 18-month training period with practical parts at courts and judicial authorities and theoretical sections at the Scuola superiore della magistratura . At the end of the apprenticeship, the CSM decides on the takeover. If the results are inadequate, the training period can be extended under certain circumstances, otherwise dismissal follows. In the first four years after the takeover, the possible uses are relatively limited.
At least one advanced training course must be completed at the SSM every four years. A number of courses are also offered locally or via e-learning .
Villa di Castel Pulci
In the Middle Ages, there was a castle of the Counts of Cadolingi on the site of today's palace , which was acquired by the Pulci in the 13th century. In the following five centuries, the owner families Orsini, Soderini and Riccardi gradually converted the castle into a palace. In 1691 a long, distinctive access road was built. Between 1736 and 1743 the originally Romanesque Cappella di San Jacopo was rebuilt and baroque .
After the Riccardi family died out in 1854, a psychiatric clinic was housed in the castle and its outbuildings until 1973 . The Villa di Castel Pulci fell into disrepair over the next 30 years, until restoration work began in 2002, which lasted around ten years.
It is planned to use parts of the former Badia a Settimo monastery near Castel Pulci as accommodation for course participants. In this case, too, restoration work would be necessary.
