HiiL Law of the Future series

HiiL Law of the Future is a top level international and multidisciplinary conference series initiated by the Hague Institute for the Internationalisation of Law. These annual conferences explore how law is changing and should change under the pressure of globalisation and internationalisation, and how the roles of international actors and stakeholders will or must change as a consequence. The Law of the Future series bridge practice – where problems may be identified – and academia – where solutions may be found. Each Law of the Future Conference is more than a forum for debate; it seeks to chart the law of the future by defining the law in the light of an ongoing process of change, identifying the critical issues, and eventually isolating practical, concrete, and innovative answers to the complex problems national legal systems face today and will face in the future...
