by François HERPE, President of JURISMUS INTERNATIONAL
Dear Colleagues
Since January 1st, I have the honour to run the management of the Jurismus International Network.
The latest elections (November 2007) also gave our group the opportunity to strengthen the Board, which is now leaded by 6 more young forces: Niko GEIBEN (SAARLOUIS, GERMANY), Olivier VIBERT (PARIS, FRANCE), Rasmus LUND (COPENHAGEN, DENMARK), Tim BECKER (DARMSTADT, GERMANY), Victoria CAELLES (BREMEN, GERMANY), Stefan DAUBNER (DUSSELDORF, GERMANY) and our Secretary General Marjolaine RATIER (PARIS, FRANCE).
Former Presidents Robert WOLLWEBER, Valérie CREVECOEUR, Thilo GRUTSCHNIG and Rasmus LUND have set up and developed this 8-year old group on national and international levels. Their efforts have made concrete results:
- National Representatives are named in 12 countries,
- Management of the network is now guaranteed thanks to Board members,
- Our International Meeting (June) –one country in charge each year- is more and more attractive, with more than 50 participants last year,
- National Jurismus events take place in Germany, Austria, Poland, France,
- We have set up communication tools such as the Newsletter, the blog and the forum,
- And last but not least: business does work!
This last point deserves an explanation for those who did not attend the Budapest meeting (2007). We were able to show relevant figures about the business made within Jurismus, since we carry out a survey on the issue each year. In 2007, more than 109 000 € were dealt between 16 young lawyers. Jurismus is a small network where people know and trust each other.
More than fun and pleasure to meet again, Jurismus is a tool any of you can use. Associate or Partner, Jurismus is :
- an international training for lawyers
- a first step inside the EUROJURIS network
- a force for EUROJURIS National Organizations
- a platform for B2B and B2C.
According to the latest session we had with the Jurismus International Board (feb 16th), our next main goals should be:
- Consolidating & developing the network
- Strengthening national networks
- Changing age limit, to be able to welcome lawyers till 40
- Increasing presence of Jurismussers during EUROJURIS national and international events, and national organizations
- Improving communication towards partners - Generating new business
- Increasing business efficiency of national & international activities
- Warning Jurismussers on trends
- Creating international business
Most of all, Jurismus is now a wonderful place for creativity in business where each one of you can take part. I will be very happy to welcome you to our next Jurismus International meeting in Oslo (June 5th- 8th) http://www.jurismus-international-meeting.com/.
Let’s also participate to our forum: http://jurismus.freeforum.org/ and keep in touch with our blog : http://www.jurismus.blogspot.com/.
Best regards,
