The 'bullet-proof vest': remits and limits of judicial training and its evaluation.

项目全称：“防弹背心”：司法培训及其评估的任务和限制：英国第一级法庭移民和庇护分庭的探索博士项目探索对审理庇护上诉的法官的培训。这一特定领域的培训因其在支持法官方面可能发挥的重要作用而得到越来越多的认可，这些法官既是一审庇护决定的“纠正”者，也是正确适用国际法和国家法律的“担保人”。这项研究的总体目标是制定基于证据的建议，进一步改进培训、评估和(远程)培训设计。具体而言，它的目的是：1.评估与庇护裁决有关的当前培训内容和方式。探讨与庇护有关的培训如何支持法官驾驭该领域的复杂性。确定可用于评估培训对庇护裁决司法实践的影响的具体经验措施。该项目提出了一种比较的混合方法办法。其目的是全面了解与庇护有关的培训及其在支持法官裁决庇护方面的作用(在英国的情况下)。该方法结合了定量和定性要素，既追踪对一审司法裁决的二审评价(文本挖掘“法律错误”调查结果)，又收集有关个人的观点和培训经验(观察、访谈/焦点小组)。案头研究将概述与在所研究的司法管辖区确定庇护有关的培训(S)。该方法的创新之处在于为文本挖掘和混合方法分析开辟了一个新的领域。

Full project title: The 'bullet-proof vest': remits and limits of judicial training and its evaluation: An exploration of the United Kingdom's First-tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum ChamberThe PhD project explores the training of judges who hear asylum appeals. Training in this particular area has been increasingly recognised for the important role it might play in supporting judges who are both "corrective" to first-instance asylum decisions and "guarantor" for the correct application of international and national law.The overall objective of the research is to formulate evidence-based proposals for further improving training, its evaluation, and (remote) training design. Specifically, it aims to:1. Take stock of current contents and modalities of training related to asylum adjudication.2. Explore how asylum-related training supports judges in navigating the field's complexity.3. Identify concrete empirical measures that could be used in evaluating the impact of training on judicial practice in asylum adjudication.The project proposes a comparative mixed methods approach. The purpose is to arrive at a well-rounded picture of asylum-related training and its role in supporting judges in adjudicating asylum (in the UK context). The methodology combines quantitative and qualitative elements, to both trace second-instance evaluations of first-instance judicial decisions (text mining "error of law" findings), and to capture relevant individuals' views and experiences of training (observation, interviews/ focus groups). Desk research will provide an overview of training related to asylum determination in the jurisdiction(s) studied. The novelty in the proposed approach lies in making a new field fruitful for text mining and mixed methods analysis.
