The Law of the Future – The Future of Law II. (Conference Proceedings)
The Faculty of Law of the Pan-European University in Bratislava organized an international scientific conference titled “The Law of the Future – The Future of Law”, which took place online on 16 December 2021. The main target group of the conference were researchers working at various universities in the Slovak Republic and abroad, as well as international legal experts and experts from state administration offices. Overall, it can be stated that the conference provided a space for the presentation of selected legal issues and in particular created a platform for formulating reflections for the future and inspired further discussions within the academic environment.
Prospective thinking about law is not only desirable but also required to ensure that law and legal systems do not become obsolete, ineffective or unjust. Just like there is no crystal ball for life, there is not one for law either. That said – the trends of legal science do not arise out of thin air – they develop over time. Current socio-economic changes and the prevalent trends in legal science form the basis of estimations about what the future of law will look like. The following conference proceedings contain a unique collection of think pieces, in which a wide array of experts from all over the world share their thoughts on how they envision the future of law.
We hope you will enjoy this volume and embark on a journey to the future with us.
