The IBA’s response to the situation in Ukraine
30 Oct - 4 Nov 2022
Room 211, Level 2
Wednesday 2 November (1115 - 1230)
Academic and Professional Development Committee
(Lead)
Judges' Forum
This session will look at the relationship between academic law and law in practice, and the marked differences between the common law world and civil law jurisdictions. These differences may be seen in the perceived value of academic qualifications, in the perceived benefit of practising lawyers pursuing parallel academic careers, and in the courts' approach to academic publications. We will explore what academic law brings to the practice of law, and how the practice of law is improved, the service to clients optimised, and the development of the law itself enhanced, by striking the right balance.
