Every semester The Legal Debate Society is organizing an international dinner event that is meant to create a fun and memorable night for the law students on exchange in Copenhagen as well as the Danish law students soon to be going on exchange abroad. This way, the exchange students will get a chance to mingle with each other and hopefully be able to offer each other support during their respective exchange periods. This semester the internationl dinner took place Thursday the 8th of April in the cantina at Jurahuset. The international students got the opportunity to socialize with Danish students who are going on exchange in their country next semester. This way they got a chance to share their experiences as an exchange student and to mingle with other international students, as well as getting some tips about Copenhagen from the Danish students. Before the dinner Jacob Mchangama, Director og Legal Affairs in CEPOS, and an active debater in the Danish media concerning human rights gave a very interesting lecture. The dinner included a delicious buffet from Cofoco, wine and soda, all on our expense.
The dinner event was sponsored by MAQS Law Firm and The Faculty of Law. The next international dinner will take place in the Fall.
"Friday bar"
The Legal Debate Society is organizing "Friday bars" in cooperation with Horten about every second week in the cantina at Jurahuset from 4 p.m. to 12 p.m. The prices are reasonable. The "Friday Bars" popularity has risen a great deal and so has become an important part of social life for the law students. It is a great opportunity to mingle with other international students as well as the Danish law students. The next "Friday bar" takes place on the 10th of September. We are looking forward to seeing you!
