Filming the series gave the actress a new perspective on the judiciary. She now finds the debate about justice “incredibly exciting”.
The actress Christina Athenstädt only really learned to appreciate the German constitutional state by filming the ARD crime series “The Savior – We Are Lawyers”.
«Before I always thought law was something boring. Meanwhile, I find the argument about justice extremely exciting, “said Athenstädt (” Dr. Kleist family “) of the German press agency.
The artist, who lives in Berlin with her family, explained: “Being right and being right are two different things. And when you look at it, you realize why that is the case. Not because there are errors in the system, but because, for example, the evidence that someone has done something wrong has to be complete. “
In addition, a judge has his own personality and point of view, said the 42-year-old. “Basically, it’s about making society better. In the courtroom, for the first time, I had the feeling that I was under the rule of law, “said the 42-year-old, describing her impressions.” Before, I didn’t know how valuable that was. In the meantime I have become a more conscious citizen. “
