The Judicial Academy has published two handbooks for judges handling family and child-related cases under the project “Strengthening the Response to Gender-Based Violence in Mongolia” (2025–2030), implemented by the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) with funding from the Government of Canada. The handbooks are titled “Proceedings for Adjudicating Domestic Violence Cases and Crimes and Violations Committed by Juveniles” and “Family Law and Judicial Proceedings in Family Cases.”

The handbook “Proceedings for Adjudicating Domestic Violence Cases and Crimes and Violations Committed by Juveniles,” intended for judges handling criminal cases, covers topics including “Criminal Proceedings Involving Juvenile Offenders” and “Proceedings for Adjudicating Domestic Violence Cases.” It was developed to provide a comprehensive and systematic resource that brings together relevant knowledge, legal regulations, and practical issues applicable to criminal proceedings involving juveniles.

Meanwhile, the handbook “Family Law and Judicial Proceedings in Family Cases,” intended for judges handling civil cases, covers topics such as “Protecting the Best Interests of the Child in Family Court Proceedings” and “Family Law (Principles, Marriage, Dissolution of Marriage, Child Custody, Child Support, and Adoption).” The handbook aims to provide practical guidance to judges in ensuring that the best interests of the child are meaningfully and measurably reflected in and implemented through judicial decisions in family cases.

N. Bayarmaa Justice of the Supreme Court of Mongolia, Chief Justice of the Civil Chamber, and B. Battseren Justice of the Supreme Court of Mongolia served as editors and authors of the handbooks. Other contributing authors included Supreme Court Justices N. Batchimeg, Kh. Erdenesuvd, and Ts. Och, D. Erdenechimeg, Director of the Judicial Academy; N. Odontuul Judge of the District First Instance Circuit Court of Criminal and Civil Simple Cases, and Z. Yanjinlkham and M. Byambasuren, Research Assistants at the Supreme Court of Mongolia.   

Dr. U. Tuya (Ph.D.), an IDLO trainer, researcher and consultant at the National Institute for Educational Research, and G. Khaliunaa, Head of the Training Center of the Judicial Academy, served as technical editors. 

The handbooks are available for reading through the judicial E-learning system.
