Successful presentation of the Faculty at the 2018 Researchers' Night

On Friday 28 September 2018 from 17 to 22, the Faculty of Law in Rijeka for the first time participated in the Researchers’ Night, joining the colleagues mostly from natural and technical sciences. Within the rich programme organised in the Tower Centre Rijeka, the Faculty of Law presented the Court Room activity – moot court related to copyright infringement on the internet.

Our activity stimulated large interest among citizens, mostly high school and primary school pupils, but also senior kindergarten children. The activity, consisting of six simulated court hearings attracted more than 120 participants who discussed and made decisions in the role of jury members. Encouraged by the performance of the Faculty teachers and students, they offered reasons for and against liability for copyright infringement (over the internet) related to a photograph, designed possible sanctions and often concluded that it would be very important to find a solution which would bring peace among the parties to the dispute. From what we have heard, they have a developed sense of justice and fairness, are very smart in analysing the issue and creative in finding solutions.

Thank you all who participated! Your support is welcome here: .
