While at Notre Dame as a visiting scholar during the fall 2021 semester, Khyliuk worked on how to leverage two polarities: judicial independence, on the one hand, and judge’s liability, on the other, in order to guarantee democracy and the rule of law in transitional societies. Khyliuk was also featured, together with Magdalena Charzyńska-Wójcik, in a story for Notre Dame Magazine in February 2023.
This event is co-sponsored by the Notre Dame Law School and the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, both at the University of Notre Dame.
