AN INTERNATIONAL REFEREE SELECTS THE PARTICIPANTS
Asst.

We got a chance to discuss many topics with legal scholars invited from countries such as Australia, Sweden, England, etc. in addition to law schools of other prestigious universities in USA. Each year hundreds of lawyers apply to attend this forum. I was selected as one of the top 10 researchers by international referees, and invited to Stanford. I was also the only Turkish person to be invited to this forum in USA. This forum, which aims to support the studies of junior faculty, has been very fruitful by all means,” said Asst. Prof. Yolcu.
