Abstract

On the occasion of eightieth anniversary of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań - the Dean of the Faculty has stressed the fact of dynamism as characteristic feature of teaching law. Such a dynamism does follow civilization changes of the very end of the present century. However, when citing not without some pride the number of habilitated doctors issued and still involved with the works of the Facility (i.e. 65), the Dean has in the same time warned that a generation gap becomes more and more visible within the staff of scientists - being done that many present professors have already terminated or shall terminate soon their didactic activity. Then the Dean reviewed shortly international co-operation of the Faculty and more particularly - with German academic centres (Frankfurt/Main, Bamberg, Bayreuth, the Max-Planck-Institute in Munich, the Asser Institute in the Hague). The Facultys’ membership in the European Association o f Law Schools shall be favourable for to develop such a co-operation. Discussing new principles of forming students and modem didactic methods, the Dean mentioned in particular plans of creating some new organizational units within the framework of the Faculty - for instance: department of human rights or department of social law. Finally, the Dean expressed his hope that a modernization and bigger concentration of material and technical resources of the Faculty shall enable in the future a realization of designated didactic and scientific aims in a more and more perfect way.
