2024 Annual Meeting: Innovation and Sustainability: Comparative Law for a better World.

October 17–19, 2024

Texas A&M University School of Law

The theme of this year’s Annual Meeting is Innovation and Sustainability: Comparative Law for a Better World.

While it has long been supported that innovation is fundamental for economic development, it has become more evident than ever that economic development needs to be sustainable to avoid violating human rights and depleting natural resources. We hope scholars from different backgrounds but passionate about using the law for a better world will discuss this important theme at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Society. In particular, focusing the 2024 Annual Meeting on this topic will allow scholars to compare the experience of different jurisdictions and legal areas, which can directly contribute to advancing debates and initiatives related to innovation and sustainability nationally and internationally. Because of the broad interpretation of the theme, we expect that scholars from multiple backgrounds, interests, and scholarly focuses would be excited to be part of this critical conversation.
