Law Against Pandemic

Some things seem too good to be true, but this one IS true... for a limited time! "Coronavirus and the Law in Europe" is a collaborative project of more than 85 specialists, including three academics from our Chair of Civil Law: prof. Fryderyk Zoll, dr Katarzyna Południak-Gierz and Wojciech Bańczyk, who also happens to be involved in Law Against Pandemic. 🦠

This invaluable resource is currently available in open access – see https://www.intersentiaonline.com/bundle/coronavirus-and-the!

Congratulations to the authors! ✨

The summer break is coming to an end, but it means we are back, with fresh ideas! We are working on interesting new formats, but of course we will keep publishing valuable texts like the last month's article about the situation of migrants, written by Małgorzata Biszczanik (in Polish: https://lawagainstpandemic.uj.edu.pl/pandemia-i-uchodzcy-jak-europa-odwraca-glowe/) and this commentary on sovereignty submitted by Carina Barbosa Gouvêa and Pedro Hermílio Villas Bôas Castel (in English: https://lawagainstpandemic.uj.edu.pl/besieged-sovereignty-the-pandemic-and-the-triple-relation-between-state-international-organizations-and-integral-society/).
We will keep you posted! Take care!
