22 Liverpool L. Rev. 1 (2000)

handle is hein.journals/lvplr22 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD The Brno Seminar on Racism and Xenophobia was held in September 1999 and was supported by the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic. Financial support was also given by the Lord Chancellor's Department and further support was provided by the International and European Law Unit of the University of Liverpool and by the Editorial Board of the Liverpool Law Review. A key factor in the holding of the seminar was the European Commis- sion Grotius programme which funds approved judicial co-operation projects. Thanks to this programme judicial co-operation conferences of varying size had already been organised prior to the Brno meeting pursuant to the Liverpool Courts initiative on different themes. On two previous occasions such conferences were held at the Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts at Liverpool, and on further occasions preparatory conferences were held at the Supreme Court at Vienna and at the District Court at Krakow. The principal topics treated have been those of transnational crime, data protection, privacy, human rights and the status of the judiciary generally. The term judicial is given a wide interpretation for the purposes of the Grotius programme and at Brno, as on previous occasions, the participants did not merely include sitting judges but also academics and officials and magistrats in the French sense of the term (which would be incorrectly rendered in English as magistrate), namely to include public prosecu- tors. Participants came to Brno from seven European Union legal systems (England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Austria, Germany and France) as well as from three European Union candidate countries, namely the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. The grand total of all participants consisted of thirty-five visitors and twenty Czech magistrates. The proceedings were opened by the Chief Justice of the Czech Republic, Mrs Eliska Wagnerova, whose kind invitation to meet at the Supreme court was an indispensable element in the success of the \I Liverpool Law Review 22: 1-5, 2000. © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
