IALS Webinar on Comparative Law and the Covid-19 Pandemic
-
Scholars from across the globe will share insights, debate, and discuss their views on a range of mainstream topics dealing with Comparative Law and the Covid-19 Pandemic. The topic will be addressed from two thematic-themes: (i) Local Reactions to a Global Context, and (ii) Transposition of Scientific Innovations into Comparative Law Actions. Speakers will share multiple perspectives that may help improve the legislative, regulatory, and judicial processes in the current and challenging global context. The event aims to offer a fruitful forum for experts from different disciplines and from different corners of the world.
Organization

This year, due to the ongoing pandemic, the annual event will take place in the form of a webinar in which four scholars are invited to address a global audience.
