First Session
Nuno Garoupa will present his co-authored research on the regulation of the legal profession. He will address how far the deregulation of legal markets – such as the new rules on nonlawyer ownership of law firms - has altered how legal services are delivered and will provide recommendations regarding how legal markets may better serve the public.
Second Session
Nuno Garoupa will reflect on his research journey throughout the years. He will provide fruitful advice on how to select a journal/review, how to increase the chances of getting a proposal published, and also how to deal with the inevitable drawbacks of research.
