Sui Generis

Over Sui Generis

Sui Generis is the official student association of Legal Theory at Erasmus School of Law in Rotterdam. We welcome bachelor students, master students, and alumni. Together, we aim to answer central judicial questions that may have been overlooked in the bachelors. What is law? What is justice? How do we argue for or against changes in law?

Law is a work in progress. Only by taking the responsibility to critically think and engage with law can we hope to improve it. Sui Generis stands for “unique” and that is exactly what we are. A place for independent, creative students who want to learn about and contribute to what law is or should be in today’s society. Instead of focussing on one field of positive law, we investigate the philosophical foundations underneath the law entire.

Sui Generis arranges regular social activities and drinks and public lectures. We offer interactive seminars with field experts, discussing a range of interdisciplinary subjects such as the impact of AI development on law enforcement, data mining and democracy, the development of the EU and much more. We also organise a quarterly book club, guided by guest speakers. As a relatively young and flexible organisation, we encourage students to contribute their own ideas, organise events and take Sui Generis in new directions.

We strive to bridge the gap between the academic world and legal practice by organizing inspiring events in collaboration with experts from different fields, emphasizing the increasing importance of interdisciplinarity in legal academics and the legal profession. We also organise field trips to different courts and institutions. In short, we offer a place for legal students to further their development and establish meaningful connections. Join us today!
