The course representatives are the education committee's representatives in the lecture halls and your representatives as a student. As a starting point, there should be four course representatives per undergraduate semester in the law program, and two course representatives per master's program and year.

What does a course representative do?
The main task of a course representative is to gather the opinions of their fellow students about the semester and the master's program they are studying. These opinions should then be presented to the relevant teaching team, preferably at a so-called course conference where representatives from the teaching team, the course representatives and an official from the education committee normally participate.

The course representatives also participate in the course representative meetings that are held at JF approximately once a month. Here, the course representatives report on what has happened during each semester. The meetings are attended by JF's board and education committee, and the opportunity is given to discuss the matters the representatives are currently dealing with. Sometimes, external guests from, for example, the university, faculty or other organizations are also invited to give short lectures to the representatives on relevant topics.
