Event Description: 

Putin’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine has made us all re-think the role of our scholarship and research in current events as well as to reflect on what topics, issues and themes have been overlooked or marginalized. Post-Soviet Legal Choices Talks is a new series of Talks, in which the main focus is on post-soviet legal developments in the former USSR republics- now independent states. In this inaugural talk we will be discussing legal transformations of the past 30 years in both public and private law as well as how legal tradition and history were revived, receipted, and used as a foundation for new legal order.
