Faculty in Focus '23
A lot can happen in one year. This new Faculty in Focus series proves just that! In 2023, numerous inspiring events took place at our faculty and our many researchers conducted much research about various cases and issues within the fields of law. And let’s not forget our students, who visit our faculty daily and represent the law faculty during competitions and other events.
This Faculty in Focus series highlights some of the most important and surprising stories from 2023. One thing is for sure: our people inspired others and made impact inside and outside our faculty.
