On the 28th and 29th of June, the Dean of Istanbul University, Faculty of Law, Prof. Dr. Adem Sözüer, will be visiting our Law School for the purpose of the ceremonial signing of a Faculty Exchange Agreement between our two Law Schools. This agreement builds on already existing co-operation undertaken by our Law Schools in the past years, including Erasmus Student Exchanges and the 2012 Leiden Air Law Moot Court, which was held in Istanbul this past March. In signing the current agreement, our Law Schools hope to extend this co-operation in the spirit of the academic friendship which has already been forged.

We hope that this lecture will be the first in a series of lectures, to be held in Istanbul , on Turkish Law, specially designed for our Turkish speaking law students, who wish to acquaint themselves with Turkish Law.
