Delegates and RCSL working groups presented papers and panels around topics of socio-legal studies. These include the portrayal of law and lawyers in film, on television and in music. The first plenary discussed what lay people know about the law and how much they trust it. The delegates came from the UK, the rest of Europe, both Americas, Asian countries as well as Australia. Their professional background varies from law to political science, from philosophy to sociology. Among the speakers were distinguished professors with international standing but equally junior scholars and postgraduate researchers making one of their first appearances on the international stage.
The conference is accompanied by an art exhibition in Pontio which runs until the end of September.
A huge congratulations to the team who organised the conference. It was a highly praised event!
