Call for Nominations for Awards from Both Associations of Jurists

For more than 25 years, the Association of Jurists’ Societies of Slovenia (ZDPS) has been granting awards to jurists for significant achievements in the field of legal science, legal culture and legal theory, in the last few years together with another large legal organisation, the Association of Commercial Law Societies of Slovenia (ZDGPS). The membership of the two associations consists of various societies of jurists, some societies are members of both associations, while others belong only to the so-called general association, i.e. ZDPS. Pursuant to Article 9 of the Rules on Awards and Prizes of the Association of Jurists’ Societies of Slovenia, both associations have published a public call for nominations for the ZDPS and ZDGPS awards. For significant achievements in the fields of legal science, legal culture and legal theory, both associations award: a lifetime achievement award, an award for the most outstanding achievement in the previous year (jurist of the year), an award to a young jurist for the most outstanding achievement in the preceding year (for a doctorate, a master’s degree, or another achievement, e.g. for an article, project, achievements in competitions) and an award for work in one of the two associations or in their member societies. Candidates can be nominated by members of both associations, members of the associations’ bodies and other individuals and legal entities on the basis of a reasoned nomination.
