Interview with Advocate General Ćapeta

Berkeley Law’s Borderlines podcast host, Professor Katerina Linos, and guest co-host, Professor Mark Pollack (Temple University), conduct a special interview series profiling Judges and Advocates General serving at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Luxembourg. Episode #5 features CJEU Advocate General Tamara Ćapeta discussing her opinions and perspective with Professor Linos and Professor Pollack. Advocate General Ćapeta was appointed as the first Croatian Advocate General to the European Union Court of Justice in October 2021. She illuminates the role’s crucial function in Chambers which issue only unsigned, unanimous decisions. Advocates General write opinions and typically offer solutions in novel cases to help Judges grapple with the issues. Advocate General Ćapeta explains why it’s both solitary and liberating to express her solo views on crucial legal issues before the Court.For full shownotes and a transcript, please visit the episode page on the Berkeley Law podcast hub.
