Prof. Hans Ankum is The New Doctor Honoris Causa of UNWE

Prof. Ankum also pointed out that “as long as a University wants to be more than a professional school, viz. a centre of culture and as long as a Law Faculty wants to be more than an institute preparing for legal practice, viz. a centre of legal culture, there will be in these institutions a place for Roman law and for jurists teaching and studying this antique legal system”. In conclusion he said: “The University that awarded an honorary doctorate to a scholar who dedicated his whole life to the study of Roman law gives an admirable example in the field for which I am deeply grateful.”
