23-24 JUNE 2011
Peace Palace
The Hague
The 2011 Conference was the culmination point of the long-term Law of the Future initiative started by HiiL in 2010. A process in which creative thinkers from academia and practice join to reflect on alternative futures for law and legal systems. The aim is to set a world standard in thinking ahead, to guide decision makers today.
About 200 of the best legal brains worldwide debated the Law Scenarios to 2030 exclusively presented by HiiL during its 2011 Law of the Future Conference on 23 and 24 June in the Peace Palace, in The Hague. Participants discussed how law will evolve in the next 20 years. For the first results of the discussions that were shared during the 2011 Law of the Future Conference see the Law of the Future Vision 2011. The Mayor of The Hague Jozias van Aartsen officially accepted the first copy of the Law Scenarios to 2030 and The Law of the Future and the Future of Law publication.
First ever scenarios for the future of law presented!

About 200 of the best legal brains worldwide debated the Law Scenarios to 2030 exclusively presented by HiiL during its 2011 Law of the Future Conference. The Law Scenarios to 2030 provide three wind tunnels in which ideas and strategies concerning the law of the future can be tested and debated. The scenarios help us think, imagine, conceptualise and debate in order to make law more than just a reactive force. A force that helps shape a better future.
