University of Georgia School of Law Visiting Researcher Mine Turhan took part in the Spring 2024 Faculty Colloquium Series last month. Her presentation, “Right to be Heard in Administrative Procedure,” was the third of six talks this semester.

Turhan’s project at Georgia Law focuses on procedural due process rights, in particular the right to be heard before administrative agencies. Her talk began by describing the fundamentals of this right, followed by her findings about this right in comparative law, specifically focusing on the U.S. and EU countries. The final third of Turhan’s presentation looked at the right to be heard in Turkish law.

In addition to Turhan, this semester’s colloquium series includes Anne Tucker, Alyse Bertenthal, Alex Klass, Rachel Barkow, and Libby Adler. The series provides a forum for provocative and innovative legal scholarship and gives our law faculty the opportunity to collaborate on current legal research, exchange ideas and foster relationships with other institutions. It is made possible through the Kirbo Trust Endowed Faculty Enhancement Fund and the Talmadge Law Faculty Fund.

Turhan’s research is supported by a fellowship from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) within the scope of the International Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program. She is sponsored as a Visiting Research Scholar by Georgia Law Professor David E. Shipley, the Georgia Athletic Association Professor in Law. Her visit continues our Center’s long tradition of hosting scholars and researchers whose work touches on issues of international, comparative, or transnational law.
