Ramon Rask attends panel discussion at Estonian Lawyers´ Days

In October 9, RASK´s partner Ramon Rask was asked to participate in a debate, held at the Estonian Lawyers´ Days confrence,  that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia. 

The debate was held on the role and objectivity of the media during publicly followed court cases. In the conference the lawyers´ perspective was represented by RASK partner Ramon Rask. Other stakeholders in the matter were represented by Justice of the Supreme Court Saale Laos, Head of the Investigative Editorial Board of the Õhtuleht newspaper Risto Berendson, and Senior Prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office Kretel Tamm. The discussion was moderated by Postimees editor-in-chief Marti Aavik.

A recording of the panel discussion is available online. The discussion was thrilling and is well worth watching, as it vividly conveys the contrasting views of the different stakeholders on what role journalists should play in covering court cases.
