I would like to encourage all students who would like to sign up for my lectures -  "Introduction to Comparative Administrative Law Part I – Legal Regulations on the Organisation of the Public Administration" and „Municipal transformations – changing municipal tasks in the transforming system of public services" to become acquainted with my PowerPoint presentation.

Dear Students!

The Rector of the UMCS suspended the contact courses at the UMCS, therefore, I cannot held the 'traditional' form of the lectures.Therefore I recommend to held an on-line streamed course (whether on Skype or on MIcrosoft Teams application). If you are interested in it, please, do not hesitate to inform me on my e-mail (i.hoffman@poczta.umcs.lublin.pl) whether you would take part on that on-line course. I would like to be very happy to meet you - at least on-line and electronically!
