The Basic Law – and a number of international treaties – ensure that everybody in Hungary has the right to justice. It is a basic requirement of the rule of law that legislation guarantees the enforceability of rights granted in acts and regulations through the judiciary system.

The National Office for the Judiciary of Hungary along with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences - Institute for Legal Studies organized an international conference on New Hungarian Civil Procedure Act and the Development of European Rules of Civil Procedure on 30-31 May 2016 at the Hungarian Judicial Academy.

Since 2013 the parties have an opportunity in the bigger Hungarian courts to use mediation procedure in connection with the pending civil, and non-judicial proceedings. The mediation is a mode of dispute resolution, in which the parties can make an agreement, settle the case and resolve their conflict with the assistance of the mediator, who is a third party obliged to strict confidence. The last 3 years prove that more and more citizens resort to the court mediation services. According to the statistics most of the court mediation proceedings end with the agreement of the parties.

It is a strategic goal and also at the same time a statutory obligation of the President of the NOJ to ensure the trainings of the judges that includes the constant development of the content of the trainings and the training system, as well. In 2015 the training central system was supplemented by local and regional trainings. This means that without interfering with the own trainings organized by the respective courts, the NOJ supports the local or regional trainings with quality assurance and financing.
