Legal developments constitute a set of problems, interpretations and solutions presented by various social institutions, whether economic, legislative, academic or other, on a continuous and different basis, to regulate the new phenomena and realities witnessed by societies. Therefore, it was taken for granted that these developments will be characterized by the nature of the stages they go through, and that new interpretations always reflect the current transformations, especially considering the central role of legal and academic institutions in various fields. With this in mind, and in light of the significant and qualitative transformations that Arab and international societies are undergoing, there are several fundamental legal issues in different fields. They also pose fundamental challenges that require qualitative solutions and deliberations through academic discussions and in-depth and specialized research.

Due to the importance of these issues, and in light of KILAW’s keenness to enhance its academic and social role, KILAW has decided to organize its sixth Annual International Conference to be held on 1-2 May 2019 under the title:

“Contemporary Legal Developments: Issues and Challenges”

The School has the honor to invite legal researchers to participate in the proposed topics with research papers that would enrich the work of the conference in the discussion of these important and vital topics. Note: the School will bear the travel and accommodation expenses of researchers whose papers are accepted by the Conference’s Academic Committee.
