News / Polish court systems [11]
Hello everyone. I am fairly new here. I am taking a class at the University in Detroit Michigan on Polish language. A few things came up recently that led me to wonder about the court systems in Poland. One, was being summoned for jury service and the other was a Polish movie that we watched. I had a couple of questions that I was wondering if anyone could answer for me? In the movie (The Savior's Square), it appeared that there were multiple judges on the bench, is this normal? Also, in the movie the defendant had the opportunity to question the witnesses herself. Is this true, or was this added for the dramatics of the movie? Another thing that seemed odd about the movie was that the lawyers seemed to sit at the same table and the defendant did not sit with her lawyer. Is this the way that it is in all criminal cases? (I could be mistaken about these couple of details since I saw the movie a month ago.) Also, I was wondering if Poland had a jury system? And if they had anything similar to the Miranda rights that we in the US have? (I had plenty of time on my hands sitting and waiting in the courtroom doing my homework!)
Thank you,
Ania

Language / Expressing years in Polish [20]
Hello, I was wondering if someone could guide me as to how to express years in Polish: ie 1970, 1845, 1206, etc? Is there a rule, or maybe a website that will help me to understand it better?
thank you,
