Perhaps you might come to the conclusion that in 2020, because of corona, time stood still in our law faculty. Despite setbacks and start-up problems - after all, everything and everyone had to switch to online within a short period of time - a lot of positive things happened last year.

Therefore, in this incomplete overview, we would like to look back with you in the field of education, research and our faculty as a whole. With these Stories of science we like show our impact on society: DigiD for border workers and demonstrate our innovation in legal education: Bachelor’s in law: 'Back to our core DNA.

The annual review is supplemented with an engaging story of Matteo Bonelli and Daniel On: Looking back on PhD life with a sense of pride, showcases and fast facts about our education and research. In short, we are ready for a great new LAW year. 

 By the way, you are cordially invited to share these stories within your own network: lawreview2020.
