The accelerating changes of the 21st century have brought countries closer together, resulting in an increasing number of cross-border legal relationships. It is no longer difficult to go abroad to purchase goods or services, or to study or work there. It is therefore increasingly important to understand different legal systems and to recognise their similarities and differences. The legal system is part of a country's cultural heritage and knowledge of it can help to build and strengthen mutual trust between countries.
The Department of European Law and Private International Law of the Károli Gáspár Reformed University has launched the Budapest Comparative Law Seminars series with the aim of providing an insight into the national legal systems and judicial practices of foreign countries. The invited speakers are all experts in a particular field of law, academics and researchers who are known and respected not only in their own countries but also abroad. Their presentations and question and answer sessions guarantee that the objectives of the seminar series will be achieved.
The seminars are moderated by Prof. Dr. András Osztovits.
The seminars are open to the public and all interested students, lecturers and colleagues are welcome!
