On the eve Lawyer’s Day On October 7, 2024, a round table on the topic: “Current Issues of Modern Legal Science and Practice in the Conditions of Martial Law” was held at the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

With a welcoming speech addressed to the applicants and attendees, spoke Anatoliy ZAHORODNIY – The President of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine, emphasizing that science must be a bearer of peace and development, a driving force of human progress.

Crisis phenomena in society negatively affect the progress of science.

During a state of war, addressing urgent issues of protecting war victims, legal protection of affected populations, and compensating for damages is on the agenda of every state institution and every scientific institution. Anatoliy Hlibovych wished for young people to never lose optimism, to do good, and to confidently pursue their goals.
