“The European Law Faculties Association has been an excellent forum for law professors, mostly deans or “dekans" not only from Europe but from all around the world, to discuss problems facing law faculties, ranging from admissions policies to various teaching methods, curriculum, cooperation projects or joint research.

“Since the first time I participated in Graz in 2005, I have attended all of the ELFA General Conferences to date. ELFA was then a relatively young organization, but its function was already proving to be relevant in the process of implementation of the European Higher Education Area.

May 30th, 2020|Announcement|

“In 25 years, ELFA has managed to bring around the same table of discussion heads of faculties of law across Europe in an unprecedented exchange of ideas and analysis of the structural changes that have affected the law curriculum throughout Europe.
