*_DISCUSSION ROUND_* *31. MARCH // 7 PM // FESTIVAL CENTRE MOUSONTURM (STUDIO 2)* Ascertaining the truth and administer justice on this basis is a hard job for lawyers. *Ferdinand von Schirach's* theatre play *_"Terror"_* has recently raised the awareness about this issue quite descriptively. The discussion round also examines the courtroom and thus, as it is claimed, the place where the truth is traced from day to day. How is truth uncovered in criminal proceedings? What is the significance of the criminal procedure for the negotiation of social conflicts? What challenges do lawyers face defending their clients? What is the role of "deals" and false confessions? And how can laymen be incorporated into the finding of justice? *DISCUSSANTS:* * *RA DR. BARBARA LIVONIUS*, defense lawyer * *DR. DOMINIK BRODOWSKI*, expert of criminal and criminal procedural law at Cluster of Excellence "Normative Orders" * *PROF. DR. KLAUS GÜNTHER*, professor of legal theory, criminal law and criminal procedure law and spokesman of the Cluster of Excellence "Normative Orders" *Host:* *CORINNA BUDRAS*, editor of the _FAZ_
