Legal science seminar series with a focus on legal certainty, two seminars per calendar year or one seminar with an in-depth focus on a legal issue. The aim is to highlight various fundamental and pervasive legal security issues in order to highlight and analyze each issue through presentations, debates and dialogues. The aim is to create a mapping of the legal situation and developments in each area in consultation with leading experts and practitioners. The ultimate goal is for the seminars to provide interdisciplinary inspiration and contribute to the development of law and legislation. When the Foundation was established, it was asked to consider a number of problem areas that the founder considered to be particularly important. In addition to these, the Foundation has seen it as urgent to add some current issues with a strong connection to the rule of law in society. About half of the originally listed legal issues have been dealt with in the form of seminars. During the next three-year period, the Foundation plans to deal with the rest of the legal security issues mentioned above, which include, for example, Swedish pre-trial detention conditions, legal uncertainty in cases of sexual offenses, the activities of social welfare boards, the role of lawyers in conflict situations, questions about the loyalty and ethics of various legal professions, and the question of ethics as a special subject in legal education. Other topics may be added which will emerge from the various seminars or from legal developments as such.
