This volume of De lege includes articles and speeches by many of the recent honorary doctors within the Faculty of Law, Uppsala University. The contributions cover a wide range of different topics. Included are several of the speeches given by the new honorary doctors to members of the Uppsala faculty the day before the Conferment ceremony. With a few exceptions, none of the contributions have previously been published, and if so, in a limited form. All of the contributing authors have a longstanding relationship with the Uppsala Law Faculty and take part in the different educational and research activities at Uppsala University.
