And you, what would be your verdict?

Description

Three trials, three perspectives on justice - 10h – 11h15: A contested dismissal at the labor court An employee claims to have been sanctioned after reporting certain practices. The company defends a different version of the facts. In court, arguments will clash… and the tribunal will have to unravel what really happened. - 12h – 13h15: A historic courtroom transformed into a nursery? Transforming a courtroom into a nursery: a proposal that sparks debate. Between renovation plans and preservation of a historic site, the judges will have to decide on this unprecedented request. - 13h30 – 14h45 and 15h30 – 16h45: A robbery, evidence… and conflicting accounts The case elements seem overwhelming, but the defendant denies the facts and accuses his half-brother. Between testimonies, evidence, and contradictory versions, the court will have to reconstruct the sequence of events. An immersion into the heart of justice. These fictional trials, conducted as real hearings, will allow you to discover the roles of judges and prosecutors, lawyers, experts, and witnesses, observe exchanges between participants, and better understand how judicial decisions are made.
