Training programme for new members of the Boards of Appeal

The Professional Development Committee organises an intensive training programme for new members of the Boards of Appeal.

Individual courses cover general presentations on the Boards of Appeal Unit, computer tools, databases, search engines for the case law of the Boards of Appeal, legal concepts such as the right to be heard, rules of evidence, decision drafting, the code of conduct and work on actual appeals.

In addition to the training programme and with the support of a coach, newly recruited members work on actual appeal cases from day one.
