Lawyers often teach themselves to approach and handle each case purely analytically and without emotion. Klaartje Freeke and Wikke Monster believe in a different approach. They take the time to get to know their clients and their background story better in the hope that they can make the judiciary less distant and more human. Whether it concerns victims, relatives or (alleged) perpetrators, Klaartje and Wikke are committed to ensuring that both parties feel known and heard. A compelling, inspiring portrait of idealistic legal practice and the price you literally and figuratively pay for it, in which the candor of the conversations stands out. A must for anyone interested in legal practice and/or the legal profession.
