The sense and nonsense of people's juries

People's juries: are they a democratic highlight or an outdated tradition? During the upcoming edition of our thought-provoking debate night The Arena, we will discuss how just and/or outdated assize cases are. Is it wise to give ‘ordinary’ citizens these heavy responsibilities? Shouldn't we just leave that to knowledgeable experts? Together with some experts by experience, we unravel the pros and cons of this form of justice.

International criminal lawyer Walter Van Steenbrugge and author/entrepreneur Yasmien Naciri invite two guests with expertise. Together, they will share insights, offer perspectives and reflect on current affairs.

The discussions will be moderated by Lisbeth Imbo, the audience will be the judges.

Be challenged by sharp statements and join an interactive conversation.

Panel

THE ARENA is a relaxed performance. This means that the hall lights are not completely extinguished, people are free to enter and exit the hall, and the audience can and does make noise and movement.
