It is a great pleasure for us as Work Coordinators to give you a first insight into the scientific programme of the International Young Lawyers’ Congress of AIJA in Munich 2016. Its various workshops and working sessions spread over 5 days, organised by AIJA’s 20 scientific (sub)commissions will allow you to enhance your skills and knowledge. Moreover, you will get to know young lawyers from all over the world to further develop your own network.
AIJA’s commissions of all different fields of law handed in an overwhelming amount of proposals. Of course, this was a work coordinator’s dream for shaping an attractive scientific programme. However, the high quality and number of the commissions’ proposals also had a downside: given the fact that the slots were strictly limited we had to make a choice.
We are aware that the present result would not have been possible without the great support and cooperation of all commissions, general reporters and national reporters for which we are grateful. One of the trends of the diversified programme is the obvious need to introduce and discuss new legislation. These slots will definitely enable practitioners to catch up on the latest developments. Another trend seems to be the green economy which obviously touches different fields of law being addressed by four commissions. Furthermore, there are numerous joint working sessions offering views on topics from different legal perspectives. All this convinces us that the International Young Lawyers’ Congress in Munich 2016 will quench your thirst for knowledge besides offering the possibility to have one or two beers in a shady and relaxing beer garden!
See you in Munich for a magnificent congress! Prost!
