The following day, the Forum continued with three plenary sessions and seminars focusing on bringing justice closer to citizens. The representatives of the Court of Justice concluded the official programme on 6 December 2022 with a festive session, also in the presence of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Prince Guillaume, heir apparent.
