The Leiden Law Blog is a platform of Leiden Law School where researchers, lecturers and students can contribute to current discussions on legal topics. An opportunity to share expertise and insights with a broader audience and contribute to academic debate. 

A blog is a short and accessible text that can be followed by a wide audience. In it, you can share personal views on topics and in a personal capacity. See Leiden Law Blog for recent examples.  

In 2025, we'd like to receive blogs on a number of topics in response to topical issues. An overview is provided below of topics we think might be interesting throughout the year:
