Court Month

Now is the time to see what has happened in May and what is about to happen.
On the 9th of may 90 judges in 90 places all around Estonia were giving lectures on subject: "Person and Court or Court and Person?" I visited the lecture in Tallinn, in Rahvusraamatukogu, where the head judge of Harju Maakohus spoke about the most common false understandings towards court and court system and also about some myths about courts and judges. There were not a huge audience, but there were lots of questions. Of course when it is a matter of justice, people get very emotional, specially when they do not understand the system. The lecturer Helve Särgava tried to answer all the questions, but there were also issues, that need more thorough discussion.
During the next weeks in May there will be many open doors days in Estonian courts. More information can be found on the web page eesti90
