The conference will be hosted by the Kozminski University in Warsaw, on November 27, 2024.

ORGANIZERS:

• Prof. dr hab. Fryderyk Zoll 
• Prof. ALK dr hab. Przemysław Drapała
• Dr. Elwira Macierzyńska-Franaszczyk

We encourage presenters to focus on the constructions of private law and their dogmatic assumptions, identify the real or false borrowings between Polish and German law, and to discuss them in the context of legal doctrine, jurisprudence or practice.   Presentations may refer to Polish law concepts, theories or solutions modelled on German law, or institutions of Polish law which are not directly modelled on German law, but only normatively or functionally similar to solutions present in German law, pretending to be legal transplants.

The areas of analysis may involve broadly understood private law, including i.e. civil law, copyright law, arbitration law or even some aspects of law of new technologies.
