courts will take place on 2-3 February at the High School of Justice. Judges’ legal assistants will be trained on the
case law of the European Court of Human Rights on Articles 9 (Freedom of thought, conscience and religion)
and 14 (Prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention on Human
Rights. The use of practical case studies (in combination with legal theory)
