Ingrid Derveaux, Viktor Vadász and Margreet Blaisse - Protecting the rule of law

When it comes to protecting the rule of law, international cooperation is vital. Why is the sharing of knowledge and experience so important? And what’s the role of judicial education in this process?

In this English episode of our podcast series we discuss the matter with two European training institutions: EJTN, the European Judicial Training Network represented by Secretary General Ingrid Derveaux and the Academy of European Law ERA, represented by deputy director and director of programmes Viktor Vadász. Host of this episode is Margreet Blaisse, dean of SSR the Dutch Training Institute for the Judiciary and the Prosecution Office.

Our guests will share some personal notes, speak about building trust and also indicate how the European legal community can join or contribute to the training activities that are offered by EJTN, ERA and SSR.
