An interesting event took place last week at the Masaryk University, Faculty of Law. On Tuesday, 9
April 2013, we were invited to participate in a miniconference dealing with some useful legal
issues. The conference was organised as a part of seminar group 10 English lesson and it consisted
of three presentations prepared by our schoolmates.
Official start was at 15:10.
As the invitations with abstracts of all presentations were distributed to us before the beginning, we
made a small research through the class. Seven schoolmates were asked to answer a question:
''Which presentation are you looking forward to the most?'' Four students were looking forward to
the third one, two to the first and only one person was full of expectations regarding the second
topic.
First presentation, Registered Partnership in Selected European States, prepared and presented by
Anežka Kalábová, Iveta Killarová and Eva Knirschová, was very nice. It was well structured, also
speakers were well prepared and they managed to keep the attention of the audience from start to
the end. At the end of the presentation they prepared quiz and thus made the audience cooperate.
The ''answer'' of the quiz was really clever and appropriate: TO BE WHO I AM.
Second presentation started with five minute delay. Kryštof Matěj, Radka Kozelková and David
Komárek were speaking about Copyright. This presentation was really great and it was later
evaluated as the best one. It brought some very interesting information and the performance as a
whole deffnitely exceeded the expectations. Audience had some questions which led to an
interesting discussion between exponents and opponents of free internet downloading. That
discussion resulted in voting with outcome that not everything on the internet should be available
for free. At the end the speakers got a big applause.
Last presentation was slightly delayed too. Presenters Iva Hegerová, Tomáš Jelínek and Zuzana
Nešporová introduced topic Basic Principles of Sharia. Most interesting part of the presentation was
criminal law where they were describing corporal punishment.
At the end of the conference we asked selected people once again. Question was: ''Which
presentation was the best today?'' As mentioned above, according to audience's opinion the best one
was Copyright.
