WHO ARE WE?
Our project
As part of the Maastricht University College of Law, we have decided to start a blog aimed at communicating law-related topics to laymen - people who are not lawyers or have no specific education in law. We believe it is essential for everybody to understand the legal world surrounding us in our day-to-day life.
We joined the first letters of our names, Victoria, Ines and Emma, to come up with the acronym VIE. All three of us are French speakers and VIE means life in French - we found that fitting for our blog, as we want to address topics that touch upon all areas of life! Find out more below about each one of us.
