Get inside Østre Landsret
We are opening the doors to The Eastern High Court where you can visit courtrooms and meet some of the judges of the court and other staff.
There will be role-playing games and exciting art tours, and for children and young people, there will be a quiz on court-related topics – and who can guess what kind of things we are scanning through the court’s security scanner…? New this year, the High Court will present an interactive role-play event for children, centred on a dispute arising on Snapchat. Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring a High Court Judge, a defence counsel, and TV 2 journalist Astrid Søndberg, who will share insights into their work within and alongside the Danish justice system.
