Competition for the HACC: 73 out of 85 candidates successfully pass the practical test

Today, the High Qualifications Commission of Judges of Ukraine (HQCJ) published the results of the practical test completed by candidates in the competition for positions at the HACC.

A total of 73 out of 85 candidates advanced to the next stage, which is nearly 86%.

As a result, there are 3.2 candidates per vacant HACC judgeship—significantly better than in the previous competition, where there were just 0.3 candidates per position.

As reported earlier, the HQCJ held the practical part of the exam on November 12 and 14. Eighty-five of the 87 candidates who reached this stage took part. Each candidate completed two tasks of different types: the first involved drafting a first-instance court judgment, and the second drafting a ruling following appellate review of a judgment. Each task was worth 75 points (150 points in total). The passing threshold was set at 75%, or 112.5 points.

Next, the publication of the practical papers is expected for those candidates who grant the HQCJ permission to do so. This would increase trust in the competition results,

allow the professional community to assess the actual quality of the work, and protect the HQCJ itself from accusations of a lack of transparency.

Lawyers who successfully pass all stages of the exam will then undergo scrutiny by the Public Council of International Experts, which will assess whether the finalists meet the required standards of integrity and professional ethics to serve as HACC judges.
