Legal Research Network annual conference at our Faculty

Autonomy is a basic principle of modern society, as well as of each and every legal system. Across all fields of law the concept of autonomy has its special implications. Law protects the autonomy of individuals and associations by defending the boundaries of their own self-rule. Autonomy has not only to be assured and protected, but its content has to be defined and its limits set. Autonomy cannot be absolute and should not lead to the detriment of other values. Thus complex questions arise which may be addressed from different angles and on different levels.

The conferences of the Legal Research Network (LRN) offer a common space for both senior and junior scholars to present and discuss their research in a friendly and stimulating international environment, which transcends the traditional boundaries of the legal sub-disciplines. The conference also aims at fostering the progress of PhD students by senior academic staff actively taking part in the discussions following the presentations.
