On 27-28 May, Kazimieras Simonavicius University (KSU) hosted the 4th International Scientific Conference “Challenges to Modern Law: An International Perspective”. This annual event brought together legal professionals, scholars and students from 12 countries.
This year conference focused on the theoretical and practical problems of human rights, law and technology, legal education, discussed recent developments of the European Union law, and the peculiarities of the Ukrainian legal system in the context of the ongoing war.
According to the Rector of KSU, Prof. Dr. Jolanta Bieliauskaitė, this annual conference is an excellent opportunity to highlight the changes in contemporary law in the international area. “Scientific reflection on law and the legal system is of particular importance for the solution of constantly emerging legal challenges. Therefore, we are very pleased with the growing number of speakers each year. Diversity of topics reveals the latest trends in legal research, legal regulation and the application of law. We believe that the contacts established during the event will also inspire sharing of best practices and will contribute to the improvement of legal systems in different countries,” said the Rector.
