“VIVAT JUSTITIA!”

International Student Legal Research Almanac

The history of almanac dates back to 2002 when its first edition was published with the initiative of Student’s Scientific Society Ivan Franko National University of Lviv Law Faculty. On the account of the respectable international status of the almanac says that authors of published scientific articles studied in higher law establishments of 11 countries: Belarus (18 publications), Georgia (1), Lithuania (1), Lithuania (4), Moldova (1), Germany (1), Netherlands (1), Poland (18), the Russian Federation (43), the USA (1), Ukraine (187), the Czech Republic (5). Some of these researchers-beginners then became Masters, Postgraduate Students and Associate Professors.

This year it is planned to publish the XIV edition of the almanac. Students, whose articles meet the requirements below, are invited to take part in the contest of scientific articles. We hope that the international dialogue between researchers from law institutions from various countries, started by Student’s Scientific Society Ivan Franko National University of Lviv Law Faculty, will obtain natural continuation, and his “production” – the almanac Vivat Justitia, will become, as the previous ones, interesting and useful!
