Editorial

The comprehensive process of reorganizing and reforming the judiciary as part of a deep reform of the justice system in Albania, culminated with the constitutional and legal amendments in 2016, aiming at reorganizing and fostering the newly established as well as existing justice institutions in order to increase public confidence in the justice system. The proposal for a new judicial map by the High Judicial Council and Ministry of Justice is part of such ongoing reforming efforts. The newly-organized map is expected amongst others to lead to the closure of several first-instance general jurisdiction courts, administrative first-instance courts, and appeal courts.
