Let’s talk (about) Law?

With the aim of addressing longstanding issues and unveiling new challenges in the legal world, while contributing to the development of new lines of scientific research, the Quid Juris Podcast was created.

This project is an initiative of the JusGov Researchers’ School – Research Centre for Justice and Governance, at the School of Law of the University of Minho. Periodically, a distinguished professional is invited to lead discussions on prominent legal topics.

The debate, once confined to the intersection between the healthcare and legal sectors, has now expanded to include other “tribes,” particularly the field of technology. In this discussion, we seek to conduct an Anatomy of Health through a Legal Lens, bringing together a medical doctor, an ethicist, and a legal expert to explore some of the challenges posed by technological advancements to law, ethics, and healthcare.
