Rule of Law Speaker Series Event: Judge Miroslaw Wyrzykowski
The Neukom Center for the Rule of Law welcomes Judge Miroslaw Wyrzykowski, a former judge of the Constitutional Tribunal of Poland and Professor at the University of Warsaw, as a featured guest in our annual Rule of Law Speaker Series and this year’s Visiting Distinguished Judge. During this talk, Judge Wyrzykowski will discuss how the rule of law in Poland has developed in light of the transitional 2023 elections and the pro-democracy movements that preceded them.
The Rule of Law Speaker Series invites speakers from nations under democratic stress to share their experience in promoting and safeguarding the rule of law within their respective legal systems. This forum provides an unparalleled opportunity for the Stanford community to engage in dialogue and foster a deeper understanding of the major challenges associated with the rule of law on a global scale.
