Karemera et al comes to the end of the trial session
I’ve been lucky in my internship to be on a case that was in session while I was here.
The cases are scheduled to have 6 weeks in court, then that much time off again while the trial teams prepare for the next session in front of the bench. The trial session for my case began on June 12 and just ended last week. This meant I’ve been able to spend a lot of time in court, watching the lawyers direct and cross examine the witnesses. That, of course, has been very interesting, and educational.
Now that the session is over I’ll have more time for legal research and other work, and that will be good, too. I’m also trying to get a spot on the UN plane to go to Rwanda, but it’s often booked up and so far that hasn’t worked out. Oh, well.
Here’s a news story about the end of the session for my case.
Mark,
It was certainly good that your case was in trial when you were there. I hope that you can still go to Rwanda.
We can hardly wait to hear more of your stories of the summer.
Love, Mom
