Arrived in Bialystok yesterday and worked with Dr. Krasnicka to finalize parts of the program. We currently have scheduled two visits to or presentations on Polish judicial institutions. One will be a presentation on the structure of the Polish judicial system by the president of the Polish Supreme Court. The other will be an actual visit to a Polish trial. While the trial itself will be conducted in Polish, the presentation afterward will be in English, as will the tour of Bialystok's courts. Thanks to the generosity of the EU, the Bialystok court facilities are the newest and best courts in Poland. Thanks to the foresight of the chief judge of the Bialystok courts, they are also some of the most advanced anywhere in terms of using technology to facilitate the efficient administration of justice.
We have also almost finalized housing arrangements. I can't say that everyone got their preference regarding singles or doubles but we came close.
Dr. Krasnicka's class on Friday, June 17 will be rescheduled for Monday, June 27 at the same time. Those of us going to Krakow/Auschwitz will be leaving immediately after the morning class. Those staying in Bialystok will have free time, although Dr. Krasnicka and the Polish students will be staying in Bialystok.
The language classes are scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of Week 1. We have scheduled these as 90 minute sessions, and they are totally optional.
