As the Rector of Danubius International University, I have no greater joy than to witness good teaching and student transformation in real time. The premier school of the University, the School of Law under Dean Ana Alina Ionescu Dumitrache and Professor Ion Rusu organized a mock court trial of a crime with students acting out all the roles. The hosts of the mock trial at the Galati High Court included Honorable Judge, Mr Doru Benescu, the President of the Court of Apeal Galati, Mr. Judge Florin Dumitru - Criminal Section of the Court of Apeal Galati, Ms. Laura Meirosu., Prosecutor, Mr. Ciprian Baciu - Vice Dean of The Lawyers Barr of Galați, police officers from the penitentiary of Galați- Mr. Florin Proca, Mrs. Enache Camelia - Detention Center of Tichilesti- Brăila and Mrs. Emanuela Iorga - Chief of Probation Service of Galati.
All these professionals contributed their valuable time to observe student performances and provide full feedback to each of the actors.
We concluded the day with a lunch at the C-Cafe where students were able to continue their conversation with some of the legal luminaries of Galati. The unique strengths of our Law School will continue to be demonstrated by our eclectic pedagogical approaches that include classroom theories, real court observations, practical mock trials, mentoring by legal professionals, and planned comprehensive interactions with the judicial systems. Indeed, it takes a good legal community to cultivate and educate a good legal professional. We invite you to join.
