At the invitation of the Hanns-Seidel-Foundation, Dr. jur. P. Kasiske, LMU Munich, took part in the conference with his contribution: 'Equality before the Criminal Law - The role of proper legal education'. In his presentation, Dr. Kasiske emphasized the importance of uniform legal education.

"Equality before the law means not only that the same laws apply to all citizens, but also that these laws are applied in the same way everywhere. This equality in the application of the law assumes that all lawyers apply the same methods when interpreting the law. For this reason, legal training plays an important role in ensuring equality before the law in a constitutional state. Only if all lawyers are taught the same methods of interpretation and legal thinking during their studies can the uniform application of the law be ensured. To achieve this, it is essential that legal training focuses on the application of the law to specific cases,” says Dr. Kasiske.
