Student Scientific Association of Comparative Constitutional Law

The Student Scientific Association of Comparative Constitutional Law was re-established in October 2017. Ms. Dr Natalie Fox and her students took a great effort to put the research group back on the tracks. Since then, it has been working under the auspices and supervision of the Chair in Comparative Constitutional Law at Jagiellonian University with its head, Prof. Piotr Mikuli. The Group and its members focus their activity on the organisation of meetings with experts and events related to the Polish constitutional law and comparative constitutional law. Older members of the research group convene supplementary lectures of the constitutional law. Within the scope of the Group's activity there is a subject competition in the 'Constitutional system of state authorities', which is a compulsory subject for first-year students of public administration (1st-degree studies), as well as conducting additional workshops in this subject.

Association Executive Board:
Jakub Dudek – President
Lidia Adamska – Secretary of Treasure and Public Relations
