November 7,2018 | We regret to inform you that Professor Alan Watson passed away on November 7th, 2018. We shall remember him as a distinguished scholar of Roman and comparative law, as the creator of the well-known legal transplants theory, the author of many significant books and studies, doctor honoris causa of the University of Belgrade, the founder of this Foundation and many other things, but perhaps most of all as a dear friend who could always share both the best and the worst moments with us.
