Workshop The Common Good and the Common Good (Authors: Maya Herrlett and Luisa Reichwein)

  • General
  • Law
On 21 and 22 June 2026, the Maastricht Centre for Law & Jurisprudence (MCLJ), organised a workshop on the theme ‘The Common Good and the Common Good.’ This workshop was organized around Monica Garcia-Salmones Rovira’s Starter Grant. The workshop, in which we were involved as Student Assistants, provided a forum for the invited international legal scholars to discuss the notion of the common good and its role in contemporary (international) law. The research presented at the workshop will be further developed and eventually published in an edited volume, bringing together the lively debates that took place.
