These unique mini-courses are provided voluntarily by court judges, prosecutors, and lawyers. In these valuable sessions court interpreters can learn the vocabulary and procedures for court.
The lectures will take place several times year. The topic will be different each time, and will always relate to criminal law. After the lecture, there will be a Q&A session with the speakers.
