We very much hope to then have contributed to the further development of the European legal community by having conducted five seminars and a colloquium and by having upheld further ACA-Europe activities such as the judge exchange, several worklng groups, the data bases and the forum. It is my desire to conserve the results of our work, so more colleagues and interested professionals can benefit from it. This holds particularly true for the three seminars and the corresponding transversal analysis of 2019 which have brought forth many insights into the machine rooms of European courts. As I have outlined in the last newsletter, the ACA-Europe executive board supports my idea of publishing a book about the results of these seminars. The book will be published in the three languages English, French and German. Translations into other languages will be possible. The publication shall comprise the general reports of the three seminars and an overall evaluation which will be prepared in the following months. The book shall also contain colour photographs of a regular supreme court panel in full vesture of every member and observing court during a court room hearing. This way traditions and working methods can also be visualised. The ACA budget will not suffice to finance such a project. Therefore, we negotiated an agreement with the C.H.BECK publishing house from Munich which can be outlined as follows: C.H.BECK produces a high quality book in three languages in which we are free to integrate coulour photographs from judges ln action as described above. They will produce a small edition of 400 to 500 books, the price of which will be 249 Euros apiece. ACA-Europe will assume responsibility for the texts in all three languages and commit to purchasing 100 copies. The rest of the edition will be made available on the free market.

The books could be meant to be distributed to the libraries of Councils of State and Supreme Courts themselves, of the Ministries of Justice, of the ConstitutionalCourts, of Law Faculties etc. C.H.BECK has agreed to give licence (for free) to any ACA-Europe member to produce and distribute the book on their own cost in any language other than English, French or German. We know that some members have already expressed such an interest. lt would be highly desirable to make this book available in even more than three languages. Finally, I would like to ask you to send in photographs as described above. ln this context, it is very important that no copyright of a third person hinders their publication or causes extra costs. Details about the photographs and your purchase commitment can be found annexed to this letter. Please return this form by 3 April 2020. I hope that all of you can agree with this project and the proposed procedure. lwould like to thank you in advance for your commitment and contribution. I am convinced that we will be able to produce a unique testimony of our common efforts. I look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, Klaus Rennert Conseil d'administration de I'ACA-Europe K.
