JURISMUS INTERNATIONAL MEETING

July 25-26/06/2010

Welcome Jurismussers,

very unique congress will take place in Maastricht in June 2010!! And YOU are more than welcome to join us!
The congress will take place in Maastricht, the birthplace of the European Union and its currency, the euro. Both were established in the Maastricht Treaty, concluded here seventeen years ago. This world-famous treaty has also proven to be a huge advantage for our city. Our European status is largely due to our geographical location. After all, the Maastricht region shares two hundred and twenty kilometres of border with Belgium and Germany. People, goods and services are constantly crossing the borders here. Therefore, in this region we are more or less forced to think and act as genuine Europeans.

Nowadays there are less borders for people to do business all over the world. The many differences between the various national legal systems in Europe are alleged to lead
to uncertainty. This uncertainty will deter business peoplefrom contracting with a party from another legal system. A uniform private law is a necessary requirement for the coming into being a European single market. Therefore a uniform European private law has to be created. The question is how to reach a European ius commune. Possible answers to that question will be put forward at the JURISMUS INTERNATIONAL MEETING at Maastricht.

During the meeting you will also have (more than enough) time to enjoy all the delights of our charming city centre, and to soak up the wonderful European atmosphere. And do not miss the visit to the KAZEMATTEN, a network of underground passageways and bunkers used for defending the city against enemies between 1575 en 1825. A once in a lifetime experience accompanied by professional guides. Accommodation and Congress will be located in Maastricht centre. The famous café’s (pubs) of Maastricht and it’s nightlife are within walking distance. 

I therefore hope that Maastricht will offer you sufficient inspiration for a fruitful debate on the future of Jurismus, the international association of young lawyers from different countries.

COME ALONG and visit our wonderful country!
