The University of Lapland hosts the Sino-Finnish international seminar on comparative law on September 26–28. The seminar brings together law professors from China and Finland to discuss current issues in the field of law.
The theme of the seminar is “Rule of Law: Arctic Governance and Chinese Experience”.
The

peoples, legal culture and languages, as well as legal issues relating
to children, women and elderly people. In addition, the lectures
approach sustainable development and urbanization, as well as civil law.
The speakers are Finnish and Chinese professors of law.
On the
second and third seminar day the participants will visit the Court of
Appeal of Rovaniemi, the Arctic Centre and the Korundi House of Culture.
They will meet Santa Claus at the Arctic Circle, too.
The

for the fourth time, and it is organized and funded by the Academy of
Finland, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and the three
Finnish law faculties in Helsinki, Lapland, and Turku. The annually held
