In addition to the conferences, the participation program includes organizing interactive meetings at the Court’s stand, open to all visitors, particularly young people, students and researchers, providing a space for direct communication. These meetings aim to provide explanations about the statute of Financial Jurisdictions’ judges and the legal provisions and professional ethics it contains, as these are the standards that frame the exercise of this judicial function and guarantee its independence and integrity. These meetings will also address the academic and professional dimension of the audit judge profession, through presenting the required academic path, the requirements for entering this profession and the skills it requires.
