Project “Jury in Georgia_ First Steps and Gained Experience” aims to conduct lectures/discussions for the purposes of spreading information regarding the reform by the Jury Trial Court in Georgia.

From January, 2007, besides Tbilisi and Kutaisi, the Jury Trial Court will become operational in regional courts of 5 more cities of Batumi, Zugdidi, Telavi and Gori.
