In Pursuit of Justice

Burhan Apaydin is one of the most revered Turkish lawyers alive, and an iconic individual within his field. Having pursued a career in law successfully for well over the past half century, he has presided over some of the most important - if not controversial - trials in Turkey's history, and played a key role in setting important legal precedents. "In Pursuit of Justice" has two goals: First, to explain the role of the lawyer. By doing so, the aim is not only to give career advice to future and current participants in this field, and remind them what a lawyer's duty is, but also to be educational for the public overall. Secondly, it is about Burhan Apaydin's views on the sacred nature of the right to a defense. Discussing these universal, timeless subjects, Burhan Apaydin's intention is to intertwine philosophy with practical knowledge - something he does not lack - based on over sixty years of experience in his career as one of Turkey's preeminent lawyers.
