DC LAW DAY: Democracy and Dialogue - A Consul General’s Perspective on the Rule of Law

To mark this D.C. Law Day on May 1, Brief Encounters, the podcast of the D.C. Bar Communities Office, features a conversation between Tamara Kraljic, Counsel at Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP and incoming Treasurer of the Women’s Bar Association of D.C., and Dr. Annette Weerth, Consul General and Legal Adviser at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Washington, D.C.
In this episode, they explore what diplomacy looks like beyond treaties and formal channels—from fostering transatlantic legal dialogue and engaging with lawyers, courts, and civil society, to convening candid, small circle discussions on accountability, judicial independence, and the rule of law. Dr. Weerth also reflects on the importance of sub national and informal diplomacy in times when traditional diplomatic pathways might be tested, and on the essential role lawyers and law play in supporting democratic institutions, peace and stability both domestically and across borders.
