Personal profile

Since February 1st, 2018, I have been employed at the University as a Teaching Lecturer in Law. From January 1st, 2016, until February 1st, 2018, I was a Scientific Assistant in Law at the University. Before my time at the University, I was a teacher at Føroya Handilsskúli/Glasir from late 2010 until June 2016. One of the biggest tasks in my time at the University has been launching the Bachelor's program in Law, primarily together with Bárður Larsen and Mikael M. Karlsson. I have taught or co-taught various courses at the University, including the Basic Course in Law, Faroese Administrative Law, Legal Understanding, Faroese Constitutional Law I, Case Analysis, Comparative Law, Contract Law, and Tort Law.
