Cross-Border Procedures and the EAW Training for Defence Lawyers

Published 1 week, 6 days ago

This webinar will focus on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) from the perspective of the defence, while also exploring its wider context within EU criminal justice cooperation.

It will examine how to effectively represent clients in EAW and cross-border proceedings, including the practical role of defence lawyers, defence rights and strategies for challenging surrender. The seminar will explore key developments in the case law of the CJEU, including the evolving relationship between mutual trust, mutual recognition and fundamental rights.

It will also address broader defence strategies in European criminal proceedings, including cross-border cooperation, EU procedural rights and the impact of digitalisation on defence practice.

Key topics

  • The EAW procedure from the perspective of the defence
  • Defence strategies: challenging surrender and protecting the rights of the requested person
  • Twenty years of CJEU case law: the development of mutual trust, mutual recognition and fundamental rights
  • The future of EAW practice: cross-border defence, digitalisation and emerging challenges.

This online seminar is part of a broader EU co-financed project on European Criminal Law for Defence Lawyers in a transforming digital landscape.
