The presiding judge, Mari Lepenioti, asked the civil action lawyers about their intentions regarding the strike. Andreas Tzelis and Chrysa Papadopoulou submitted waivers from their bar association allowing them to participate in the proceedings. Tzelis said he understood the importance of the strike for the social insurance legislation, not just for lawyers but for all Greeks. Responding to a question by the presiding judge, Thanasis Kampagiannis said it wasn\u2019t necessary for all the lawyers to submit waivers as these were granted per case and not per individual. The public prosecutor proposed adjourning until 15 January. The presiding judge said she would not appoint legal assistance to the defendants as this would expire in two days; she did say, however, that if the lawyers\u2019 strike was extended, the court would appoint counsel for the defendants as it could not allow this trial to be delayed.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing was then adjourned until 9am on Friday, 15 January 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>44th Hearing, Three-Member Criminal Appeals Court, Women\u2019s Wing, Korydallos Prison, Athens, 12 January 2016 \u0399.\u00a0Court access The courtroom remains open to the public on presentation of a state ID card, which is retained by police for the duration of the session.
