Fraud teacher held crime course

A course instructor, who may have held a course at the University of Copenhagen, has apparently lured 87 students to join a bogus course in Criminal Law at Aarhus University. In a strange circumstance, a search on the University Post shows that he attended and asked critical questions at a recent Penkowa hearing

Happy winner

War of the Wardrobes: Faculty of Law

After a ceasefire in the War of the Wardrobes, the University Post is back in the battlefield where you get to browse through the action and vote for the victor!

This time we sent a reporter to the Faculty of Law at the University of Copenhagen. A strict courtroom dress code is awaiting many of these students once they are done. But are they already suited up?

Fashion and law have often been connected. Take f.ex. TV-series such as Ally McBeal and the infamous Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. Can the law students of the University of Copenhagen match up to our TV expectations?
