Thanks to a generous bequest from a former student of the Faculty, Sigurds Lindiņš, the idea of creating a Gallery of Deans of the Faculty of Law was realised in 2012. Lindiņš began his studies at what was then the Faculty of Economics and Law in 1937. However, in 1939, he was conscripted for compulsory Latvian national military service, which forced him to discontinue his studies. He was subsequently compelled to serve in both the Red Army and the Latvian Legion, and the ensuing events of the Second World War did not spare his family. After the war, he was unable to continue his studies due to both financial constraints and the fact that, in exile in the UK, he discovered a completely different legal system. His dream of becoming a lawyer remained unfulfilled. Lindiņš spent the rest of his life in Australia, where he passed away in 2000 and is now interred at Lestene Brethren Cemetery. In his will, he left funds “to the Dean of the Faculty, to be used for the use and benefit

The COVID-19 pandemic had a particularly severe impact on education employees. The need to adapt quickly to distance learning, learn new digital tools, provide personalised support for students with learning difficultieshas significantly increased the risk of burnout. Ina survey conducted by Latvian Trade Union of Education and Science Employees (LIZDA) last March, 95% of teachers indicated that distance learning process takes more time than face-to-face learning. In this survey, teachers also admitted that more psychological support and counseling by a psychologist in case of overload would be desirable. On 1 April 2021, in response to the needs of teachers, the University of Latvia together with Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania and Pan-European University in Slovakia launched the Erasmus+ Programme Key Activity No. 2 (KA2) – Strategic Partnership project "Supporting Teachers in Overcoming the Challenges of Distance Learning" (PERSON), 2020-1-LV01-KA226-SCH-094599
