INHALT

BREADCRUMB

EU Criminal Law For Defence Counsel

 

The project

This second EU-wide project will offer defence counsel training on EU criminal justice instruments and judicial cooperation. The project will also feed into the step-by-step approach agreed by the EU on the establishment of certain procedural safeguards.

The concept

The project will consist of five seminars conducted throughout the EU in the years 2013 and 2014. Each seminar will be targeted at different groups of selected Member States (approx. 25 participants from 4-5 Member States per seminar). The training will last 1 ½ days from midday on Friday to late afternoon on Saturday.

Programme

The programme will offer a mixture of training methods, varying from lectures to interactive workshops. At the heart of the training will be problems and questions arising from the perspective of the defence with regard to cross-border cases that involve investigative measures where EU instruments are already in force – namely the European Arrest Warrant and freezing and confiscation orders – or are planned, especially in the field of obtaining evidence across internal EU borders.

Networking opportunities

This project will support such networking in two ways: first, defence lawyers from different EU Member States will be given the opportunity to make personal contacts and to exchange best practice and experience in the course of the training; second, part of the training will be dedicated to informing participants about the most effective ways to get in contact with their colleagues from other EU Member States.

Organiser and Partners

The project is organised by the Academy of European Law (ERA).
The project is supported by the European Criminal Bar Association (ECBA), the Lithuanian Bar Association, the EuroCollege of the University of Tartu, the Studio Legale Cirese, the Law Society of Ireland, the Czech Bar Association, and the Illustre Collegi d‘Advocats de Barcelona (ICAB).
