6th Annual Conference of the Netherlands Institute for Law and Governance (NILG): 'Comparative Law and Governance' 18-19 September 2014

22 August 2014

In 2014, the University of Groningen will be 400 years old! The NILG would like to celebrate this occasion by inviting you to the 6th Annual Conference on 18 and 19 September 2014 in Groningen.

Laws are to a great extent still national. However, the vast majority of problems and issues in contemporary society are not specifically national. The individual countries could and should learn more from each other. The best practices, the best laws, and the modes of governance that best contribute to the solution of a certain societal problem, could and should better circulate across the world. This need for mutual learning calls for comparative law and governance.
