On 19 October 2017, the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies hosted the second of the ICTY Legacy Lecture Series at Leiden University’s Hague campus.

The lecture, entitled “The Story of the Defence practising before the ICTY: Experiences from the Frontlines Defending Justice”, was the second in a series of four, which will each tell the story of a different organ of the Tribunal and the Defence, as part of the ICTY Legacy Dialogues. The event was an opportunity to hear a “behind the scenes” perspective from Defence counsel practising before the ICTY and to learn about their individual experiences.

The panel was moderated by Marie O'Leary, ADCICT Defence Counsel and Vice President, while the panellists were: Colleen Rohan, ADCICT Defence Counsel and former President; Christopher Gosnell, ADCICT Defence Counsel and Vice President; Gregor GuySmith, ADCICT Defence Counsel and former President; and Dragan Ivetić, ADCICT Defence Counsel and Vice President.
