Jacco Janssen - Recht over de Brug

Rechtspraak in de praktijk

Recht over de Brug is a theatre lecture in which Jacco Janssen, a criminal court judge in Rotterdam, takes you into the world of the judiciary. You will experience that dispensing justice is not as black and white as it seems. Using real cases and relatable dilemmas, you as the audience are actively involved. You get to help decide: guilty or innocent? Conviction or acquittal? This is not a dry lecture, but an energetic performance full of surprising insights and sharp questions. Janssen challenges you to look beyond your initial feeling or impression. Afterwards, you will look at the judiciary differently.
