Law Faculty Competition Final 2023: Affirming the talent and understanding of DNU young people about law

“The candidates have affirmed their mettle, talent, and in-depth knowledge as real lawyers when presenting convincing arguments and evidence to defend their views. Surely they will go far in the future…” That was the comment of lawyer Nguyen Ngoc Lan at the final round of the 2023 Law Competition organized by the Faculty of Law, Dai Nam University.

The Law Faculty Debate Contest is a contest organized by the Law Faculty, the Law Faculty Club - under the Faculty of Law, Dai Nam University. The contest is an academic playground for young people who share a passion for debate and legal issues; a place for students to interact, exchange, express their voices, thinking, stance, arguments, speaking and debating skills; at the same time, improve their knowledge of law.

The content of the contest focuses on topical legal issues, with many opposing opinions that are valuable in recommending law-making.

This year, the contest focuses on two "hot" topics that young people are interested in: "The influence of KOLs on the rise and fall of brands" and "The whirlwind called Tiktok and Vietnamese youth in the digital transformation period".
