“Over the last few years, NOVA School of Law has been consolidating its position in the teaching of Law in Portugal, and it is currently the most sought after law school in the national competition for access to higher education, which positively reflects its efforts. For the future, we intend to continue what we have achieved and to reaffirm the disruptive character that is part of our genesis. We want to prepare better jurists, capable of responding to the challenges of the future<\/em>“, states Margarida Lima Rego.<\/p>
