Prof. Herwig Hofmann of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance has been making international headlines this week thanks to a verdict by the Court of Justice of the European Union in a case against Facebook.

Around the globe news media reported on the CJEU’s verdict, which declared the US’s Safe Harbor agreement invalid.
