In the area of interest in Church Law, there is a primary interest in presenting the relations between the state and the Church, including the issue of concordats. This also gives rise to a focus on secular family law and social-legal protection of children. In the area of canon law, we pay attention to questions of the management of the Church, synodality and collegiality or the contribution of lay people to the execution of leadership in the Roman Catholic Church. There is also a focus on the law of Eastern churches. We finally attempt to apply canon law to pastoral practice, in particular in procedular and marital law in the Roman Catholic Church and in the right to a consecrated life. Some of the members of the section are also members of the Church courts.
