What is a comic contract? What is proactive law? How does sustainable and responsible contracting improve access to justice?
The Sarjis research group which studies comics as a means to improve accessibility, organises a seminar titled “Accessibility and access to justice with comics” on Thursday 24 November at 14.00–17.00. In addition to the Sarjis group, speakers in the seminar include the creator of comic contracts, Robert de Rooy, and two pioneers of proactive legal thinking, Gerlinde Berger-Walliser and Helena Haapio. The speakers introduce the audience to comic contracts and proactive legal thinking and how they can be used in the fields of sustainable and responsible contracting and social services.
