The Law Research Centre at the School of Law & Government, DCU, organizes regular seminars to engage with relevant developments across all fields of law. In academic year 2020/2021, because of the Covid-19 pandemic and related disruptions, the Law Research Centre has scheduled a set of workshops (instead of weekly seminars like in previous years) with multiple speakers (instead of a sole speaker lie in previous years). Through this format, the Law Research Centre endeavors to shed light on the most significant trends, and the future prospects, at play in key areas of law, including EU law, environmental law, privacy law and international law.
