Mission statement

The Netherlands Association for Philosophy of Law (VWR) aims at promoting legal philosophy in research and education while paying equal attention to contributing to the public debate. Therefore, it organizes twice a year a meeting for its members: the Spring Meeting and the Winter Meeting. Moreover, under its auspices, it publishes the Netherlands Journal of Legal Philosophy (NJLP, formerly known as Rechtsfilosofie & Rechtstheorie). Every second year the association, together with the editorial board of NJLP, organize a Spring Meeting in which a legal philosopher of international renown gives a lecture. At the Winter Meeting, Ph.D. researchers are given the opportunity to present their research. Every second year, the association awards a prize – the VWR Dissertation Prize – to the best published PhD thesis in the past two years in The Netherlands or Flanders.
