Jacques Leroy International Prize 2012

The winner of the Jacques Leroy Prize will be announced during the Dresden congress opening ceremony on October 31, 2012, by the President of the Jury, Juan Antonio Cremades.

The topic for 2012 is “The Jurist and the Development of Human Rights in the Business World”. We received 20 papers from over 15 countries.

The Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA – International Association of Lawyers) has been organising the Jacques Leroy Prize for law students since 2010.

 
The purpose of the Jacques Leroy Prize is to reward a law student  who has helped raise awareness for human rights in the business world by writing a dissertation, study or any other research paper, and thus has offered possible solutions to rationalize the societal responsibility of companies from a legal standpoint.
