Wednesday evening we joined six judges from the Ministry of Justice for a traditional Polish dinner. Two of the judges, Kryzstof and Slowic, were present in Cedar Rapids two years ago. We enjoyed very interesting discussions about the structure and practice of the judicial system in Poland. The judges shared with us that they are the Next Generation of judges in Poland, as many of the former judges left their posts with the fall of communism. Because of this they were in a unique position to take positions of great distinction in their country early in their career. In depth discussions were had regarding residential facilities, domestic violence, victim issues, drug and alcohol abuse, etc. During dinner we were serenaded by a performing group playing Czech music.
