Abstract
Amsterdam Law Forum’s Editorial Board is proud to present its Spring Issue 2017. Together with our team of editors we have worked hard on publishing this edition, which is our biggest issue yet. Not only does this issue contain a great selection of diverse scientific articles, it is also home to three opinion pieces and two commentaries. These commentaries on two academic events at the Universiteit van Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam are a step towards a new vision, wherein ALF functions as more of an actual platform for academic discussion and debate.
