ECBA Autumn Conference 11 and 12 September 2020
THE EUROPEAN PUBLIC PROSECUTOR AND THE ROLE OF THE DEFENCE
CONFERENCE REPORT
The effects of the Covid 19 crisis can be felt in all areas of life. In the sector of legally oriented conferences, these have thinned out considerably in view of the pandemic. Despite this fact and in order to set an example, the ECBA decided to have the autumn conference in Rome after the spring conference was cancelled. And so the conference began on the evening of September 11th, 2020 in the historic ambience of Chiostro del Bramante with a reception, where Vincent Asselineau (Chair of the ECBA), Giandomenico Caiazza (Italian Defense Attorneys Association) and Antonino Galletti (President of the Roman Bar Association) made welcoming speeches.
