Horizons of Legal Theory & Practice

Institutional and challenge-based perspectives for legal education and research in a collaborative context.

The chair of General Legal Theory & Practice (LGT&P) of the University of Aruba is ideally positioned to, not only addressing traditional core legal topics but also connecting to issues that appear on or perhaps even beyond the horizon of day-to-day legal concerns. Prof. Heldeweg looks at three of these issues: resilience, sustainability, and impacts of emerging technologies, Aruba is facing as a `Small Island Development Society’. Next, he lists some perspectives (e.g. multi-/interdisciplinary connections, future proof legal design, and institutional integrity) on how the LGT&P-chair can, in the upcoming years, offer a challenge-based legal approach response to these legal concerns in response.

Speaker Biography: Prof.dr. Michiel Heldeweg, LLM

Michiel Heldeweg (Nijverdal, 1957) obtained his doctorate degree in 1993 at the State University of Limburg (now Maastricht University) with a thesis entitled ‘Normstelling en expertise’ (‘Standard setting and Expertise’), on safeguards for technical expertise, in particular in environmental licensing. In 2008 Heldeweg became Professor of ‘Public Governance Law’ at the University of Twente, and, still at Twente, from 2014 Professor of ‘Law, Governance & Technology’. At this university, he was department chair several times over a total of 8 years, and since 2017 he has been program director of the MSc. Environmental & Energy Management. Since 2018, he has chaired the Scientific Integrity Committee of this institution. Heldeweg has been a deputy judge since 2007; initially at the district court of Almelo, now of Overijssel.

Goed voorbeeld doet goed volgen?

Over legal transplants en een staats- en bestuursrechtelijke onderwijs- en onderzoeksagenda

In het Arubaanse staats- en bestuursrecht worden veel elementen uit het Nederlandse recht getransplanteerd. Maar geeft het Nederlandse recht altijd een goed voorbeeld? En is een Nederlands voorbeeld in Aruba altijd goed te volgen? Aan de hand van een aantal recente ontwikkelingen probeert prof. Bröring deze vragen te beantwoorden. Dit resulteert in een lijstje van onderwerpen die de komende jaren in Aruba alsmede aan haar universiteit bijzondere aandacht vragen.
