Second Wrocław-Kraków administrative law conference held

Abstract

The second annual meeting, titled Certainty of the Legal Situation of an Individual in Administrative Law, was held in Wroclaw on November 26 and 27 2011. Faculty members and doctoral students from both the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and the University of Wroclaw attended the meeting, which took place in the meeting hall of the Council of the Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics at the University of Wroclaw. The first meeting, held in Krakow in 2010, was devoted to Time in Administrative Law. These tandem meetings were inspired and initiated by prof. Jan Zimmermann from Krakow and prof. Jan Boc from Wroclaw. The first meeting resulted in the publication of a book titled Time in Administrative Law, edited by Jan Zimmermann and published by Wolters Kluwer (Warszawa 2011). Prof. Zimmermann wrote in the preface that these annual meetings should concentrate on essential subjects in the field with the aim of deepening our understanding of them. Prof. Zimmermann also felt that the meetings should serve (together with other academic meetings, esp. bi-annual congresses of academics working in the fields of administrative law and administrative procedure) to integrate the numerous but scattered academic communities interested in administrative law and public administration. The morning session of the Wroclaw meeting began with three introductory speeches given by prof. Karol Kiczka – the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics at the University of Wroclaw, prof. Jan Zimmermann – the Head of the Chair of Administrative Law at the Faculty of Law and Administration at the Jagiellonian University and prof. Adam Blaś – the Head of the Institute of Administrative Studies at the Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wroclaw. Following the speeches, the chair of the first day’s sessions prof. Zimmermann turned the floor over to dr. hab. Iwona Niznik-Dobosz, who delivered an address on her paper titled Stability of the Administrative-Legal Situation of an Individual in Structural Administrative Law. Dr. Joanna Lemanska followed this address with a discussion of her paper Certainty of the Legal Situation of an Individual in Local Government Electoral Law. Rounding out the morning
