WHLS Visit to Cluj Napoca, Romania

16 - 18 May 2024

All WHLS members are invited to participate in this trip to Romania to Visit the Bar Association of Cluj Napoca. (You do not need to be a member of the International Committee).

Cluj Napoca is Romania's second-largest city which the Lonely Planet Guide describes as having ‘Bohemian cafes, music festivals and vigorous night life’. The theme of the visit is Taste of law. The concept is to combine legal and cultural interests. Our hosts are still working on the details so there may be changes to the planned programme.
