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

完整项目名称：“防弹衣”：司法培训及其评估的权限和限制：联合王国一级法庭移民和庇护法庭的探索博士项目探讨了审理庇护上诉的法官的培训。这一特定领域的培训越来越多地被认为可以发挥重要作用，支持法官对一审庇护决定进行“纠正”，并为正确适用国际法和国内法提供“保证”，研究的总体目标是提出以证据为基础的建议，以进一步改进培训、培训评估和（远程）培训设计。具体而言，它旨在：1。评估目前与庇护裁决有关的培训内容和方式。探讨与庇护有关的培训如何支持法官在该领域的复杂性导航。确定可用于评估培训对庇护裁决的司法实践的影响的具体经验措施。目的是全面了解与庇护有关的培训及其在支持法官裁定庇护方面的作用（在联合王国的情况下）。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”的结论），又收集相关个人的观点和培训经验（观察、访谈/重点小组）。案头研究将提供所研究的管辖范围内与庇护确定有关的培训概况。所提出的方法的新奇在于使文本挖掘和混合方法分析的新领域富有成效。

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.
