The Association of Administrative Judges (VRV) is a professional association based in Vienna ( Austria ) and a member of the Austrian umbrella association of administrative judges . Administrative judges association is a self-designation, according to the central register of associations the association name is: Association of members of the administrative courts .
The VRV has chosen the motto in the logo: Iuris praecepta sunthaec - honeste vivere, alterum non laedere, suum cuique tribuere . of the lawyer Ulpian . This corresponds to the beginning, in the first part of the Corpus Iuris Civilis in the institutions of Emperor Justinian : iuris praecepta sunt haec: honeste vivere, alterum non laedere, suum cuique tribuere . - The commandments of law are these: live honorably, do not hurt others, grant each his own.
history
Through a constitutional amendment in 1988 and corresponding state laws , Independent Administrative Senates (UVS) were set up as more or less independent authorities with judicial authority to control the administrative activities of the federal states. The UVS began its work on January 1, 1991. The introduction was necessary because Articles 5 and 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) had not been complied with in Austria by this time.
In May 1993, an Austria-wide professional representation for UVS members was founded with the support of the Association of Austrian Judges and the Association of Administrative Judges in Graz. The decision to found its own specialist journal and hold annual specialist conferences is subsequently made.
In 2012, a change in the administrative jurisdiction in Austria was resolved and on January 1, 2014, all independent administrative panels were dissolved and replaced by regional administrative courts . As a result, the UVS Association became the Association of Administrative Judges (VRV).
