Research Centers Forum Romanum
The Society for Roman Law and Classics Forum Romanum has a particularly rich tradition.
Established in 1970, it organizes discussion forums and social activities on
a weekly basis. Over the years, dozens of internationally renowned professors
have participated in its activities, including authorities such as: Hans
Ankum (Amsterdam), Peter
Birks (Oxford), Silvio
Ferrari (Milano), Gabor Hamza
(Budapest), Stephen
Hicks (Suffolk, Boston), Sally
Humphreys (Ann Arbour), Robert Hayden
(Pittsburgh), James
Klebba (Loyola, New Orleans), George Marovich (U.S.
District Court, Illinois), Charalampos
Papastathis (Thessaloniki), David Pugsley (England),
Olivia
Robinson (Glasgow), Peter
Stein (Cambridge), Alexander
Soloviev (Washington D.C.), Gerhard Thuer (Graz)
and Alan
Watson (UGA. Athens, Georgia). Several international legal scholars
publish their contributions in the Law Journal Annals of the
Faculty of Law in Belgrade. Institutio Oratoria Professor Avramovic also leads the Center for
Oratory Institutio oratoria, which
gathers all those interested in developing public speaking skills and
prepares them for competitions. The traditional annual student oratory
competition has become an event that attracts interest of the entire
University and the general public. Following the example of the University of
Belgrade Faculty of Law, a number of other faculties organize their own
competitions, the winners of which participate in the Serbian universities
wide finals. In the competition
students deliver their speeches on free-choice and given topics, and on this
occasion the largest lecture hall of the Faculty is regularly filled to its
full capacity. This competition also represents an opportunity for students
to express their sincere and critical opinions in front of government
officials sitting in the front rows. Indeed, this event is a real spectacle. Alan Watson Foundation The Alan Watson Foundation (http://awf.ius.bg.ac.rs), founded in
2005, is a nonprofit scholarly organization established by the University of
Belgrade in honor of Alan Watson who is Distinguished Research Professor and Ernest
P. Rogers Chair of Law at the University of Georgia School of Law, and doctor
honoris causa of the University of Belgrade. The organization’s fundamental mission is to
encourage and disseminate a multidisciplinary understanding of law, and
foster scholarship broadly focusing on the correlation between law and
society. By gathering around the international scientific community devoted
to research of law in its social context, AWF is dedicated to the development
of comparative law and legal history via developing international cooperation
in these fields, publishing electronic publications, information
dissemination and other activities. The Foundation is led by Professor Sima
Avramovic and the International Advisory Board (John W. Cairns, Paul du Plessis,
Olivia
Robinson, Prakash
Shah, Jan M.
Smits, Gerhard
Thuer, David
A. Westbrook). Since 2005, gifted students have earned the
Alan Watson Prize for their contributions in the understanding of legal
transplants and the diffusion of law in specific historical contexts. |
