Olena Sasko Participates in the Professional Development School for Criminal Law Instructors: "Criminal Legislation of Ukraine: Contemporary Challenges and Development Prospects"

Contemporary transformations of national legislation are setting new developmental vectors for criminal law, which directly impact both its scholarship and practice, and this, in turn, necessitates improvements in teaching methodologies for future legal professionals.

Associate Professor of the Department of Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement at the Faculty of Law, Olena Sasko, participated in the Professional Development School for Criminal Law Instructors: "Criminal Legislation of Ukraine: Contemporary Challenges and Development Prospects." The event was aimed at supporting the professional development of criminal law educators from higher education institutions and took place under the OSCE Support Programme for Ukraine, in cooperation with the Supreme Court and in partnership with the Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University (February 8–10, 2026, Kyiv).

The School's work involved judges of the Supreme Court, leading scholars, experienced instructors, and members of the working group developing the new Criminal Code. The School's lecturers presented current concepts of criminal law, shared innovative teaching approaches in wartime conditions, and offered practical advice on improving criminal law teaching methodologies in light of contemporary challenges and development prospects.
