The two authors, who are parents raising children and German legal scholars and lawyers,
Finally, we can pass on the 'valuable principles of criminal justice' to our children.
I applaud you for finding the smartest way.
_Prosecutor Jeong Myeong-won (appeared on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," author of "My Dear Petitioner")

Highly recommended by a practicing judge and prosecutor! A book that provides a deep understanding of justice in schools.

We are used to finding the right answer.
But the right answer creates bias.
Viewing the world with a fair and objective perspective is a virtue of legal professionals such as judges, prosecutors, and lawyers, but it also greatly helps us in our ordinary lives.
"Our Trial Begins" deals with group bullying caused by misunderstandings and prejudice, and the complex stories surrounding bullying.
Minor misunderstandings and prejudices that arise among children can escalate into group bullying and violence.
This kind of thing happens not because there is a specific reason or because someone did something terribly wrong, but because it happens around our children and in our daily lives quite often.
If you live your life focusing only on the phenomena that occur before your eyes, you will end up living a life that is far from justice and truth.
"Let Our Trial Begin" will be an essential book for our children, helping them avoid being swept away by propaganda and fake news that obscure the issue of a case, wisely resolve conflicts and concerns in their relationships, and speak up when a precious friend or family member suffers injustice.


'A story so thrilling that you can't put the book down'
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any child who wants to get lost.

Eun-kyung Lee (elementary education expert, CEO of Wise Elementary Life)

An engaging crime thriller set in everyday life! A book that delivers the ultimate immersion.

Konrad, a transfer student in Class 6-A, is suddenly accused of being a sandwich thief, causing misunderstandings and prejudice from his classmates. He is also bullied by the entire school due to a groundless rumor.
Even in such an unfair situation, Conrad, who has a kind and pure heart that looks after small and fragile creatures such as birds sitting on trees and ants on the street, does not even think about explaining his position or clearing his name.
Mika, who sits next to Konrad, is usually a quiet and cold-hearted person who doesn't pay attention to other children, but she feels the 'injustice' of Konrad's situation and speaks up to reveal the truth of the incident.
With Mika's courage, the 6th grade class A students decide to hold a 'trial', the wisest way to resolve the case.
The children meticulously research every step of the trial from the start, bring desks to the playground, and set up a mock courtroom.
The children, including Konrad, who became the 'defendant' in the trial, Mika, the 'lawyer' who defended Konrad, and Torben, the 'prosecutor' who filed the lawsuit against Konrad, each take on a role in the courtroom trial and struggle to uncover the truth of the case.
What will happen to the trial of the 6th graders in Class A? Will the defendant, Conrad, be able to clear his name and receive a just sentence? "Our Trial Begins" features unique characters and a suspenseful story with an unpredictable ending, making it a captivating read for young readers.

A book worthy of being called "essential reading for future legal professionals."

"Let Our Trial Begin" is a book co-authored by Juli Ze, a German law doctor and bestselling author, and Elisa Hoven, a sitting judge at the Saxon Constitutional Court in Germany.
In addition, the book's special appendix, "Criminal Trial Procedure Q&A," contains answers to 16 questions about criminal trials that children might be curious about, such as "Why do we wear black gowns in court?", "Is it okay to lie in court?", "Who will punish us?", and "Can we participate in the trial?"
In addition, a special appendix, 'Examining the Concept of Law in the Work', which was not found in the original German work, was created to include detailed procedures, concepts, and knowledge about trials, along with the legal concepts included in elementary social studies textbooks.
In particular, the newly reconstructed contents, including Korean legal concepts and legal terminology related to criminal trials, were reviewed by current judges and prosecutors to enhance the credibility and expertise of the contents.


If we look at the world through the "fair and objective perspective" emphasized in "Let Our Trial Begin," children will be able to better understand themselves and act and behave in a way that is true to themselves.
Based on this self-understanding, children can increase their interest in future careers.
This book will help our children develop an interest in and curiosity about legal professions such as prosecutors, judges, lawyers, and court officials, and will help them passionately pursue their dreams of becoming legal professionals.
