Description
This time, I'm honored to speak with #AppellateTwitter international stalwart, Judge Mikael Swahn, of the Svea Court of Appeal in Stockholm, Sweden. Judge Swahn is my first European guest, and was able to tell me in great detail about the Swedish system. Most remarkable, Sweden allows for full plenary review of all judgments in the intermediate courts of appeals, and includes lay judges at both the trial court and the court of appeals. We also discuss legal education in Sweden (where I stick my foot in my mouth!), Judge Swahn's path to being a judge, the difficulties in recruiting judges in Sweden, and the fact that in the Sweden, many parties litigate pro se.
