Guram Tavartkilade Teaching University – The place, where I grew up as a professional and developed as an independent person. This is the university, where I felt myself home right from the start. Amicability of academic staff, rectors and each of the personnel towards students, well-furnished infrastructure, high quality education focused on practical training, lectures and sessions, workshops held in terms of international programs - all these make the Guram Tavartkiladze Teaching University valuable and competitive all over Georgia.  

I am happy to have been an excellent bachelor student of this university and a scholarship winner of Guram Tavartkiladze’s scholarship for four years. I was even assisted for my first employment by the university. At present, I am proud and glad to continue my master’s degree at the GTTU.

Public lecture on the issues of notarial system

4 May 2012

On May 4th 2012, the member of the administrative board at the Chamber of Notaries Public in Georgia, Ms. Nino Khoperia has given a public lecture for the students of Law Faculty.

Ms. Nino referred to the concept of notary publics, their original field of activities. As she mentioned, the source of notarial system dates back to the 4th century and the first notary publics were rewriters.

Since then, too many things have changed…

The chamber of notary publics has started its functioning in May 3rd 1996 on the basis of the Georgian Law “On Notary Publics”, which actually defined the legal basis of notarial system arrangements and the field of their activities.

Further, Ms. Nino Khoperia has stated that today the chamber of notary publics is the unity of members, based on self-management principle and compulsory membership. In conformity with the law, the chamber of notary publics is the legal entity of public law.

Time has passed by and the legislative base has consequently changed, so were the functions of the notary publics: they have extended to registering marriage/divorce acts, carrying out notary mediation functions, to the execution of punishment acts without court; furthermore, the field of activities have even involved the functions of the public registrar, authority of issuing power attorney online, making online appointments with notary publics for further consultation, etc.

The meeting with the notary public had also an interactive character.
