   advance.

     * New  Applications. The new application form, strict application of

       regarding  "no  significant  disadvantage"  and  the  single judge
       procedure.
     * Urgent Cases. Changes in the attitude of the Court to dealing with
       Rule  39 and Rule 41 requests, and tactics for making applications
       stick.

     * Pilot  Judgments.  Review of recent pilot judgments, and responses
       to  them  from  the  Court,  States,  and  Civil  Society. How the
       registry is dealing with repetitive cases.

       forward.

   1115 Break (15 minutes)

   1130 Session 3: Breakout Groups: Substance (90 minutes).

   These   sessions   will   allow   smaller  groups  to  discuss  recent
   developments  in  law  and  procedure.  They will focus on a review of
   changes  in  the  case  law,  any particular strategies that have been

   in each area.

       sharing.

   1300 Lunch (45 minutes)

   1345 Session 4: The Impact of Strategic Litigation (30 minutes).

   How  can  strategic  litigators,  donors  and NGOs best understand and
   assess  the various impacts of strategic litigation? How do we know if
   it affects the making of policy, shapes the attitudes of victims or of
   broader  society,  or  brings  about real social change on the ground?
   What  are  the main primary and secondary impacts that can be observed
   or measured? A discussion of the latest research and thinking, and how
   this can be used by civil society.

   1415 Session 5: Plenary Session: Current Controversies (90 minutes).

   This  session  will  review  three  larger  questions  of  concern  to
   litigators before the ECHR.

     * Long Term Reform of the Court. What are the options that NGOs will
       be  asked  to consider? What is the Court? How should NGOs respond
       to   the   debate   as  to  whether  the  Court  should  become  a
       Constitutional  Court  for  Europe?  What is our response to Judge
       Spano's proposal that we are in a "new age of subsidiarity"?

     * Implementation  at  the  Committee of Ministers. Various NGOs have
       undertaken advocacy before the Commission of Ministers with regard
       to  the  implementation  of  judgments,  providing  information to
       diplomats  to  inform their debate. Would it be possible to have a
       permanent  NGO  based  in  Strasbourg that could play this role on
       behalf of human rights lawyers across Europe?
     * Attacks  on  the Court. The promotion of human rights has become a
       toxic subject in countries such as Hungary, Russia, and the United
       Kingdom.  What  is the risk that such attitudes will spread across
       Europe? How can the media be encouraged to present a more accurate
       and  sympathetic  understanding  of the subject? Are the voices of
       European  human  rights  lawyers  useful  in  the discussion, or a
       distraction, or worse?

   1545 Break (15 minutes)

   1600 Session 6: Breakout Groups: Practice (45 minutes).

   These short sessions will allow for a technical discussion of problems
   that  arise  in  the practice of litigation before the European Court.
   Practitioners  will  share  experiences and propose best practice that
   works. The most popular groups will be chosen from the following list:

     * Strategy  development.  Planning and managing strategic litigation
       (TBC).
     * Third  Party  Interventions.  What  is  the  impact of third party
       interventions,  and how can it be enhanced? How can NGOs encourage
       other groups to intervene?
     * Remedies  and  Just  Satisfaction.  Recent practice with regard to
       remedies  and  settlements,  and  the  development  of "indicative
       judgments".  Tactics  for improving implementation from the outset
       of litigation before the Court.
     * Drafting. Techniques for dealing with the new application form and
       best practice for legal drafting before the Court.

   1645 Session 7: Plenary: Q&A, AOB (45 minutes).

   General  discussion  on  issues arising from the earlier sessions, any
   left-over questions, and preparation for the meeting with the Registry
   and the Court on Friday.
