This event will feature talks by 17 university students (undergraduate, master’s and doctoral), combined with 9 distinguished voices coming from the forefront of present-day academia.
All these personalities, hailing from higher education institutions based in different countries, are brought together by a shared purpose of launching a thoughtful and interdisciplinary exploration of the legal landscape, as well as by the need to forge and cement understandings between disparate educational and intellectual milieus and generations characterised by their oftentimes contrasting theoretical and existential frames of reference.
The 1st International Seminar on Legal Theory will take place on May 26 and 27 in the Main Auditorium of the School of Law of the University of Minho.
