In an interview, the law expert talks about bridging academia and policy to protect democracy – and what we can learn from jazz.
What do a Judge, a Professor and a jazz enthusiast have in common? For John Morijn, it’s a passion for democracy and inspiring the next generation to shape its future. John is this year’s Henrik Enderlein Fellow, bringing his expertise to students and research at the Hertie School's Centre for Fundamental Rights and Jacques Delors Centre.
