The Role of Young Lawyers in Strengthening the Position of Russian Legal Education Abroad
Congress Centre, conference hall B4
Some 1,000 students have returned to Russia as a result of sanctions. Additionally, many of those who left to study abroad have decided to return temporarily and pursue their studies online from Russia. However, millions of Russian students, including future lawyers, continue to study abroad. Furthermore, due to the difficult geopolitical situation, most universities are launching new international educational programmes in new areas. This session will discuss support for student projects and events, as well as proposals for strengthening the position of Russian legal education in the international educational space. The discussion will be attended by experts, law school student and government leaders.
