Law and Literature seminar
-
This is the second Law and Literature-seminar within the VU-UM Law & Literature Consortium.
Like its forebear, the seminar intends to provide a friendly environment in which we may exchange ideas, and meet other researchers in the field. The seminar is pre-read for all participants: short statements of all presentations (up to 2500 words) will be distributed the week before. Part of this year’s seminar will be used to discuss expanding the Law and Literature Consortium to include other universities. The day will be closed with a guided city walk of Maastricht, using our dean Jan Smits’s recent A Legal Walk Through Maastricht.
