The members of the Research Group for Civil Procedure conduct research on a broad range of topics within civil procedure law and dispute resolution. 

Our competence is particularly strong with regard to evidence law, children's access to justice, mediation and other forms of non-adjudicative dispute resolution, and European civil procedure - including EEA/EU civil procedure law. In addition to weekly lunches, we regularly arrange workshops and seminars.

Leaders are Anna Nylund and Camilla Bernt.
