International Conference on the Future of Law and Legal Practice 2021 (Online) Online, Subang Jaya

Taylor’s Law School is delighted to announce the 2nd International Conference on the Future of Law and Legal Practice (ICFLP 2021). This second iteration of the ICFLP2021, in fully online e-Conference format, continues to explore contemporary developments in the law in Malaysia, the region, and further abroad.

The theme of ICFLP this year is ‘Law and Legal Practice in the Post-Pandemic Era: Opportunities, Solutions and Innovations’.

This second iteration of the Taylor’s International Conference on the Future of Law and Legal Practice aims to canvass the unique nature of the challenges posed to law, legal practice, and the teaching and learning of law by a global pandemic such as COVID-19; the ingenuity of the legal and regulatory responses around the world; and the opportunities for the development of law, legal practice, and legal pedagogy in the post-pandemic era.

The International Conference aims to showcase a range of academic and practice-oriented perspectives on these issues, exploring the ways in which the practice, teaching, and learning of law – and indeed the fundamental concept of law itself – can be developed in response to the challenges created by a global pandemic such as COVID-19.

Participants are invited to present papers relating to any aspect of the broad themes set out above. Paper presentations at the International Conference will be clustered into four main streams namely Private Law, Healthcare & Medical Law, Public Law, and Legal Education. Papers which do not relate directly to any of these streams are also welcome and will be grouped in miscellaneous panels for presentation purposes.

The International Conference is intended to provide a forum for scholars, practitioners, regulators, academics, and researchers to explore and debate issues relating to the innovations and opportunities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Junior scholars and those seeking to develop ideas towards publication are particularly encouraged to present.
