No. 39 C 2007 March 2007 –July 2007 fondée en 1909 Editor’s Farewell TER In August 2003, by appointment of the President of IVR, the late Professor Aleksander Peczenik, I took from the former Editor-in-Chief, Professor Riccardo Guibourg, the honour and responsibil- ity of publishing IVR Newsletter. Since then, eight issues of the paper have seen the light of day. First of all, I would like to thank the readers of IVR Newsletter for their continued interest. My aim during the last four years has been to provide them with a paper that would keep then àjour with the developments, scientifi c and organizational, within the diff erent national sections. Further, my sincere thanks go to the “Contacts” of the IVR National Sections, who kept sending me information on various topics. Indeed, working as editor has been rewarding in many ways. Editing and publishing the material I received from the IVR contacts gave me some insight into the developments within the fi eld of Jurisprudence practically all over the world. What is more, through my email correspondence with the IVR sections, a most valuable network of contacts has been established whic, I hope and trust, will be sustained in the future. Honestly: I enjoyed cor- responding with you all! However, the time has come to move on. Once more, I would like to express my gratitude to the IVR for having given me this opportunity to work as editor. Last not least, I would like to thank our highly effi cient webmaster, Dr. Christoff er Wong, for his competent assistance and unfailing patience. Th anks for a great time!
