The abolition of the death penalty, the right to abortion, respect for the presumption of innocence,… so many battles that marked the history of the 20th century .
Their common point? A moment of eloquence intended to present to the audience another vision of these societal issues.
During a speech or a pleading, M e Robert Badinter, M e Gisèle Halimi, M e Roger Lallemand, M e Éric Dupont-Moretti, etc. fought these battles with strength and conviction.
For one evening, the Young Bar Conference will bring these great moments of eloquence to life through the voices of young talents. These moments of rare intensity, they did not experience them. Neither jurists nor lawyers, they are still students but have already distinguished themselves by their oratory skills.
Supervised by experienced lawyers, they will try to deliver an authentic, sincere and committed service to you during this exceptional evening.
We all know these sisters and brothers who agreed to lend their support to the organization of this unprecedented event.
Winners of the Boels, Lejeune or Janson prizes, back-to-school speaker, President of the Young Bar Conference (and sometimes even all at the same time), their attachment to the art of speaking is deep.
This is how Me Anne-Claire Dombret, M e Simon Menschaert, M e Jancy Nounckele, M e David Ramet and M e Pierre-Yves Thoumsin will also speak for our greatest pleasure.
Finally, the conclusion of this evening where eloquence will have been honored will naturally be pronounced by M e André Risopoulos, emblematic figure of the Brussels Bar.
