Our practice professorships
REWI Graz has established "Practice Professorships" in order to anchor legal practice even more firmly in the degree program and to bring research and application closer together. These are designed as part-time professorships, as the practice professors continue to work in their traditional profession. The following renowned personalities currently enrich research and teaching at the faculty with their insights into legal practice and offer students the unique opportunity to benefit from their wealth of practical experience intheir courses:
