📢 Visiting Lecturer - Assistant Professor Katalin Sulyok (PhD) ➡️ We were thrilled to have hosted a guest lecture mini-series by the esteemed Assistant Professor Katalin Sulyok as part of our International Climate Change Law and Policy Seminar at the ClimLaw: Graz, REWI Uni Graz Admin, University of Graz. 🔍Born in Szeged in 1986, she has an illustrious academic background with qualifications in law and biology from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), and an LL.M. degree from Harvard Law School. She has been recognized numerous times for her exceptional studies and writings in Environmental Law. Currently, she holds a key position at the Office of the Ombudsman for Future Generations and imparts her knowledge as a lecturer at ELTE Law School. 📖📕 The lecture titled "Climate litigation and Science – The use of scientific fact finding methods in environmental jurisprudence" was an insightful exploration into the intersection of science and law in the context of environmental issues. Drawing from her book "Science and Judicial Reasoning – The Legitimacy of International Environmental Adjudication" (found at: https://lnkd.in/dD4rpymZ), Assistant Professor Sulyok delved into how scientific fact-finding methods are utilised in environmental jurisprudence, shedding light on the implications this has for climate litigation. 🌍🌿‼️ We extend our deepest gratitude to Assistant Professor Sulyok for her invaluable contributions and look forward to more enriching collaborations in the future. 🙏🏽 #visitingprofessor #guestlecture #jurisprudence #science #environmentallaw #seminar #climlaw #unigraz
