The International Conference ”The Science Of Law – In the vanguard or the rearguard of social, political and economic phenomena?” is aiming at finding to what extent the development of social values and relations, politics, and economics is covered by legal rules and how is legislation keeping up with new social developments in traditional areas of law.  One possible perspective is comparative, finding out if there are converging trends or diverging approaches and what are the drivers behind the tendencies. 

Theoretical approach may respond to questions like: can law ensure social order and equity, is law a valid instrument for protecting human values, directing human conduct and attaining economic goals? The doctrine has shaped specific law domains. But our current social, political and economic relations are still comprised in the traditional domains? Are there new domains to be shaped? Do they have specific legislation?  

National and international institutions are created in order to attain social, political and economic goals. Are the legal rules they can use a helpful instrument in their activity or attaining their goals?

Legislators are representatives of society. Are the legal rules they are issuing in accordance with the will of the society? What are the legal rules that ensure the accordance?
These are only some of the themes we propose, without limiting the topics on the subject.
The first workshop on Health law is aiming to bring together perspectives from doctors, pharmacists, patients, health-insurers.
The second workshop: Owners and/or Performers of the Intellectual Rights: in between Nexus.
