On the tradition established over the recent years the students from the Law Faculty obtained practical preparation during their internship, pointed out Assoc. Prof. Draganov. Knowing the judicial system is a challenge to future jurists and you had the chance to understand what the law means by the practice before getting your diplomas, said to students the Dean. He expressed his thankfulness to the Managing Bodies of the three courts for the opportunity of good practical preparation provided by them to students from the UNWE.

I am convinced that the internships will develop and will become better, outlined judge Lalov. You will obtain knowledge but what is important for you is to become real jurists, real lawyers. The dignity could not be deprived, it could be lost, emphasized on the fundamental thought for the profession the judge. Don`t lose your dignity or you`ll just turn into craftsmen earning money, said judge Lalov. He assessed the certificates as “more and more important” and said that the results of practical preparation could be “a good chance at high student activity”.

I am thankful to students and lecturers who have committed to the internships for almost seven years, pointed out judge Radkov. He defined the education at the Law Faculty of UNWE as “a model of innovative development in a conservative field”. He made a comparison between the administrative justice a decade ago and in modern times as he outlined the progress in that field and expressed his confidence that it would become more and more important and more and more citizens would become conscious of their rights. I really want some of the students presented in the hall to go in the way of this qualification and professional future, pointed out Radkov. I wish you, the young people, to develop yourselves in use of society and let`s do together something for the better future of our society and our country.
