SFU LS conducts traditional summer law school

With great pleasure SFU LS conducted traditional summer law school again.

Participants from several countries and cities  will dive into challenging world of Russian law, and for foreign guest to study Russian language also. We intentionally «concealed» geography of our participants, after all it’s a landmark event that we didn't lose invited guests and lecturers but significant increase of a scale of our event. Apart of invited docents from Passau University (Germany), our colleagues from Coventry University Kuper Aaron Martin and Lou Daniel Mathieu joined us this year. Tendency in diversification among participating students can be observed – along with German students, who came to Siberia to study basics or Russian law, three students from Oshsk University – Kubatov Nurdamir, Omurzakov Mirsaduk, Murzakulov Talgat came for the same purpose.

This year program became even more intense and deep. Future prosecutors, advocates and judges will have three directions of activity. Russian students from German-speaking comparative law department group are to pass a course of basics of German law in a framework of DSG, English speaking group will traditionally practice with Anglo-Saxon specialists. German students will work with graduates of DSG program on criminal, constitutional and civil law, and will learn Russian language as always.

Cultural part of the School includes numerous excursion to Legislative assembly of Krasnoyarsk region, in the National History Museum, Surikov Museum, a trip to the "Stolby" in "Beaver Log" and the museum named after V. Astafieva in the village Ovsyanka. Of course informal communication between participants is always in place, and we hope it will add positive emotions to a pleasant atmosphere of the School.

German and Kirgiz students note that Krasnoyarsk is a city of contrasts. Modern city infrastructure neighbours with old buildings, that support image of a centuries-old culture of the city. Students recalls reflected their wish to visit “Stolby” reserve many more times, students also enjoyed their trip to memorial complex named after V. Astafiev in Ovsyanka village.

We’ve already introduced our Kirgiz students, now we would like to pay attention to  our German guests. 15 German students from all over Germany came this year. It’s important to mention that long standing tradition of Passau been the most represented city been broken this year more that successfully. Only 6 students represent our partner university. Other participants are from Bonn Heidelberg, Stuttgart, Marburg, Frankfurt and Darmstadt.

Krasnoyarsk Summer Law School only grows in popularity. Kirgiz students noted that after such warm welcome in a centre of Siberia Law University students and professors are welcome in every university all over the world. We will do our best to maintain our high standards!

We would like to notice that students were prepared to lectures of professors Couper Aaron Martin and Law Daniel Mathieu from Coventry university due to the course “International-legal aspects of theory of theory of human rights in English language (taught by V. Tereshkova).

The International Office would like to thank all the teachers who participate in the organization and holding of the Summer School - 2015: Anna Teplyakova, Mikhailova Maria Vasilyeva Anna Fedotovna, Gabov Alexander, Dmitriev Ivan, Jacobi Germany, Metelkin Andrew, Bozhenova Mary, pluck Peter, as well as students of this 3 courses OSB German-speaking sub-group for the cooperation and responsiveness in the international department.
