Lawyer for the Class Hilde also shows social commitment; this is apparent from her contribution to the Junior Jurist Academy. As “Lawyer in front of the class” she and the academy gave a workshop to group 8 about law in general, from the rule of law to fundamental law. The students, including her eldest son, were then given an assignment to study a specific case for several weeks, which was based on a "real" case. After the preparation, the children were allowed to work as lawyers, judges and public prosecutors themselves in a "practice court". ‘It was wonderful to see that the students became increasingly enthusiastic, asked questions and showed commitment. This is definitely worth repeating!'
