Online European Seminar on Protection of Freedom of Expression by Legal Professionals.
« JUST FREE – Justice and Freedom of Expression »
19 -23 April 2021
ONLINE
From 19th to 23rd of April, the Ecole Nationale de la Magistrature is organising a webinar on « Protection
of Freedom of Expression by Legal Practitioners» in the European Union in partnership with judicial
training institutions from Belgium (IGO-IFJ), Spain (CGPJ-EJ), Italy (SSM), Poland (KSSIP) and the EFB Paris.
Freedom of expression is a pillar of our democracies and, as such, is protected in the European Union, but
the outline of its judicial and judiciary protection are highly technical and often require subtle balance
between competing rights.
It is necessary to assess the challenge of protecting Freedom of Expression by legal professionals,
particularly in the European current context where concern is mounting on its reach and restrictions could
limit its extent.
This seminar will allow participants to gain an in-depth legal knowledge of the European Convention on
Human Rights, the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and European law. It will thus contribute to
ensuring the protection of freedom of expression.
Throughout this European and cross-professional seminar, study of diversity in FoE reach and limits within
the European Union, taking into account EU Member States’ discretion in its application, will be a source
of mutual enrichment. It targets judges, prosecutors, lawyers and journalists. Diverse exchanges will
provide a European dimension to a topic often addressed unilaterally.
This seminar will alternate between group sessions on practical cases and presentations from judges,
lawyers and experts. It will foster exchanges through real-time quizzes and surveys.
****
Training Objectives: This seminar will allow participants to gain an in-depth legal knowledge of the
European Convention on Human Rights, the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and European law
and to compare experiences from different European countries.
Online training Built around five times two-hour to two hours and a half sessions, this seminar will rotate
between theoretical knowledge and workshops, giving ample time and space for practical exchanges on
ECHR and European case law.
Participants will receive a pedagogical package before the seminar and will be encouraged to follow a
Council of Europe MOOC ahead of the training (Free online course ).
