Court proceedings: Series of talks on the role of criminal trials

Karlsruhe/Leipzig/Braunschweig. The directing duo krügerXweiss, with their performance projects, The Process I–III focuses on key trials and their implications for the present day.

As a collaborating partner, the Forum Recht Foundation is supporting the project with an interdisciplinary series of discussions that explore the topics justice, public court cases, and the Role of the judiciary in social reappraisal processes discussed with experts.
