Law
The discipline of law is concerned with the legal rules that exist in society and how those rules should be applied. Whatever we do and wherever we are, rules govern our rights and obligations. Without an organized system of rules regulating our actions and interactions, society would not function.
Within the field of Law, we at Mid Sweden University conduct research on:
- Administrative Law
- Public Procurement
- Sami Law and Indigenous Peoples’ Rights
