Theme: digitisation in legal practice

The overarching theme of the conference is digitisation in legal practice. Conference chair and Professor Legal philosophy and Legal ethics Iris van Domselaar explains: ‘There is a lot going on about that theme. Not only what digitisation means for the work processes of legal professionals but also for professional ethics and access to law. The beauty of this conference is the comparative law perspective. Speakers from different countries talk about developments in their own countries.’
