Generalitat bestows Medal of Honour upon María del Carmen Gete-Alonso
The Government of Catalonia has agreed to award the Medal of Honour to Marái del Carmen Gete-Alonso, Professor of Civil Law at the UAB, for her exceptional legal services. The award will be bestowed upon her in recognition of both her knowledge in civil law and her "human quality".
Professor Gete-Alonso was member of the Codification Commission of Catalonia (Ministry for Justice), president of the Consumer Arbitration Board in Sabadell and member of the research evaluation commissions (AEI, AQU, UNIBASQ, JCyL) and scientific committees of legal journals. She has won several awards in law and published numerous articles, book chapters and other texts. Moreover, Gete-Alonso was the first woman to become Chair Professor in Civil Law in Spain. The Government of Catalonia highlights that Professor Gete-Alonso "has prepared generations of jurists who have passed through her classes since 1972 until today, and is an indisputable role model for many people".
The Medals of Honour awarded by the Government of Catalonia in recognition of exceptional legal services, are given individually or collectively to those professionally related to the legal sector who thanks to their tasks, stand out for their effort and dedication in particularly relevant situations. In addition to Professor Gete-Alonso, this year's award winner are José Manuel del Amo, Lluïsa Puig, Montserrat Bastit, Julia Latorre, the Council of the Association of Solicitors of the Courts of Catalonia and the Language Commission of the Catalan Bar Council.
On 14 March 2022, the Faculty of Law organised an event to pay tribute to Professor Gete-Alonso in recognition for her academic trajectory.
