„LET’S TALK ABOUT RECHT“ – The interactive discussion series
We discuss current and fundamental legal issues that affect us all with experts and the audience
Legal topics often have a reputation for being difficult to understand and highly complicated. Yet many legal issues concern us all. „Let’s Talk About Recht“ heißt aber auch, dass das Publikum Fragen stellen und in den direkten Austausch mit den hochkarätigen Gästen treten kann. Sie wollen mehr erfahren? So war der erste Gesprächsabend mit Inken Gallner in Karlsruhe – ein Rückblick!
Since the beginning of 2025, we have been inviting anyone interested to discuss legislation, the exercise of legal rights, and legal protection—alternating between our two foundation locations in Leipzig and Karlsruhe and covering ever-changing topics. „Let’s Talk About Recht“ provides insights into various areas of law and the rule of law, and uses real-world examples to illustrate where and how they play a role in everyday life and what their importance to our society is.
The guests are prominent figures from various fields of law who, in conversation, discuss their day-to-day work and share their perspectives on a current legal topic—ranging from labor law to tenancy law to freedom of speech.
„Let’s Talk About Recht“ But it also means that the audience can ask questions and engage in direct conversation with the distinguished guests.
