The exercise is aimed both at the students who are trained in forensic drama and skill, and at the senior judges from the Nordic Supreme Courts who participate in the assessment panels and who thus have to listen passively to pleadings on the themes of the European Convention on Human Rights for 5-8 hours. In this way, they develop their mastery of the subject area in a far better way than a cursory reading of literature can convey (in addition, the Swedish Supreme Court now has four justices who have participated in the panels). By recruiting presiding judges from the European Court of Justice in Strasbourg, the exercise allows them to fulfill their implicit missionary task while at the same time, in the internal discussions of the judges' panels after each round, they can convey to their senior colleagues in the panel the current view in Strasbourg on the debated issue.
