IMG_ 055Club for Roman Law and Classics Forum Romanum

The Club for Roman Law and Classics Forvm Romanvm has existed since the year 1970 as a specific form of teaching, within which interesting lectures are given every Friday at 19:00. The subjects of these lectures concern primarily Roman law and antiquity, as well as other areas that might interest this selected audience of good students – legal and political history, culture, mythology… Numerous prominent foreign and domestic scholars have held lectures at the Forum, and after the lectures, always followed by an active discussion, there is usually informal socializing, often with some music and a guitar. For many years educational excursions have been organized, and on them our students have travelled through practically the whole of Europe, Tunisia, Egypt etc, accompanied by their professors and lecturers. An annual Forum ball used to be organized, and this is a tradition we would hope to re-establish. The conditions for membership in the Forum are high grades in legal history subjects and, of course, love towards these topics and a desire to broaden one’s horizons. One of the significant advantages of Forum activities – whether they’re lectures, excursions or just socializing within the Forum’s rooms – is that the new student members get to meet their elders, now affirmed lawyers, experts and businessmen, making this Club, among other things, an alumni society of elite students from different generations.
