Continuing the tradition started last year, RGSL invited its Alumni, former and current faculty members, partners and friends to broaden the expertise and reconnect with fellow students at the 15th Anniversary celebration of RGSL and the annual Alumni Homecoming event on 5 July 2013. There was a morning conference and debates led by international law and business experts, followed by the graduation ceremony and an evening event with entertainment.
This is a remarkable year for the RGSL family. First of all, this year marks 15 years since the institution was established. The agreement between the Latvian Government, Swedish Government and the Soros Foundation Latvia on establishing the Riga Graduate School of Law was signed March 1998. During these years, RGSL risen to become a top tier law school in the Baltic region, and our graduates are outstanding professionals.
Second, the first students of our new Bachelor programmes “Law and Business” and “Law and Diplomacy” will graduate this year. We are really proud of the students who dared to join these completely new study programmes. During three years time, they shared their insights and experiences, and contributed to the development of both programmes. Now they are ready to take the next step in their education and career.
