Congratulation message from former ELFA President Norbert Olszak

2020-04-29T08:43:08+00:00 April 28th, 2020|Announcement|

“Happy Birthday ELFA ! The celebration of the 25th anniversary of the European Law Faculties Association reminds me of the year 2004 when I had the pleasure to welcome its conference at the Robert Schuman University of Strasbourg. The association was quite young at the time but already very active, and we had lively discussions in the “Pangloss” lecture hall, which was full. This name “Pangloss” was chosen for that hall because it is used by the Institute for Translation and Interpreting Studies, whose translation services were very useful to us. But above all it made [...]

“In 1995 when we founded ELFA, there was a widespread understanding and partly even euphoric acceptance of the European idea all over the continent. Throughout the countries, across the border learning from each other and cooperating in building up new structures of common engagement overturned step by step the old deep routed nation bound routines.
