The position will last from September 2021 until 2023.

Professor Patti was elected among the 28 new members of the ELI Board with 245 votes (the third most voted). The Council is the organization's management body and is organized into several study groups. Specifically, Patti will focus on inheritance law, as well as, blockchain technology.
