Bridging to justice in the 21st century

‘The law and those bodies which create, uphold and enforce it are ready for the next step. The 21st century demands flexibility, resilience, transparency, and simplicity.

We, at the Law Faculty of the University of Amsterdam, believe that we can and should play a valuable role in this transformation. We feel the responsibility to contribute to solutions for real legal problems. And to drive innovation in our profession.

But we can only achieve this if we join forces. With researchers, students, lecturers, governments, NGOs, companies and citizens. This is how we will bridge the gap between academia and society.’
