Legal science seminar series focusing on the rule of law and legal certainty with two seminars per calendar year. The aim is to highlight various fundamental and pervasive issues, primarily concerning legal security, and to highlight and analyze each issue through presentations, debates and dialogues.
The aim is to produce a survey of the legal situation and developments in each case in consultation with leading experts in the field and practitioners. The ultimate goal is for the seminars to serve as an interdisciplinary inspiration and to contribute to legal developments 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.
During the next three-year period, the Foundation plans to deal with topics within the framework of the Foundation's purpose that have largely come up as follow-up questions at the seminars held, such as ethics in legal education, the role of lawyers in the legal process and legal issues in social services. In recent years the Foundation has held one seminar a year in Stockholm and one outside the Stockholm-Uppsala area (in Linköping, Östersund, Umeå and Lund). This is due to the importance of spreading the discussion on the rule of law beyond the circle of lawyers in the capital area.
