An interview with Tomáš Sokol, Lawyer
interview Last June, the best known advocate in the Czech Republic, Tomáš Sokol, former Minister of the Interior, and one of the most distinctive representatives of Czech advocacy, founded the Union of Czech Lawyers with his colleagues. Why, according to him, are advocates often demonized? And what are the disadvantages of his face being known to the public? In his interview for Leaders Magazine Prague, Tomáš Sokol claims that politics is like a drug. “I am happy that I was thrown out before it grew addictive,” he admits. He also explains why he had problems after the revolution, when he wanted to prosecute the communists.
