I am extremely grateful to Professor Maciej M. Sokołowski for his guidance and the in-depth review of my work. Professor Sokołowski gave me full academic freedom while still prompting me to reflect more deeply on the development of my thesis, providing me with invaluable advice on how to structure the work in a coherent way and achieve clarity of thought. In the course of writing this thesis I learned much from him on the power of concise writing and the importance of remaining resilient, determined, and positive. I highly recommend joining Professor Sokołowski's seminar to anyone who sees their final year of law studies as an opportunity to write a master's thesis that is truly meaningful.
