Objective
Training of defence lawyers with special regard to European
criminal law has gained more and more importance over the years. This is
not only due to the rising number of measures regarding European
instruments of mutual recognition and cooperation in criminal matters
like the EAW and the EIO, but also to those instruments being applied in
a common manner, which, in turn, is resulting in rising numbers of
cases in which such instruments are part of the proceedings.
Hence, this seminar seeks the momentum to offer a first insight on the main issues of European criminal justice exclusively targeted at defence lawyers. Participants will have the possibility to get to know each other and make contacts with colleagues from all over the EU to further their professional networks.
