Panel discussion 1: What is the significance of an independent legal profession for the administration of justice?
The integrity of any legal system relies heavily on the existence of an independent legal profession. This panel discussion delves into the critical question of why an independent legal profession is indispensable for the effective administration of justice.

Panel discussion 2 – New technologies and core values: potential partners or an inevitable mismatch?
This panel session will look at issues regarding the digitalisation of justice and the impact of new technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, on justice and legal practice.

Panel discussion 3 – Confidentiality of lawyerclient communications: is there a need for greater protection?
In an era marked by evolving legal landscapes, new legislation, and heightened concerns over privacy, the confidentiality of lawyer-client communications has become a topic of intense importance. This panel will consider whether current legal standards adequately safeguard this essential pillar of a lawyer-client relationship or if there is a pressing need for stronger protection.
