New Content Released on My CV – October 2024 – TEACHING, TEACHING, TEACHING the fall away

Posted on October 23, 2024 by Anita Szigeti

October of this year has meant teaching several times a week, including 8 solid hours at 3 different law schools in a 24 hour period on Oct 22 and 23 – that is a LOT of teaching – but I do find engaging with law students a genuine pleasure. Great questions, enthusiastic young minds rejuvenate and revive my own interest and perspectives!
