The first symposium discussed differing forms of legal pluralism from both theoretical and substantive perspectives. This multifaceted approach made it possible for the symposium to truly address the question of what legal pluralism is really about. This current symposium takes a step forward and asks the question is legal pluralism a part of our legal culture?

The invited speakers represent leading European figures on their respective fields, which have all dealt with the issue of legal pluralism in their own academic work. In their presentations they address the issue of legal pluralism as an inherent element of law (ie. as part of our legal culture) and what additional questions arise from this. In addition to the invited speakers, PhD-students from the University of Lapland’s doctoral programme Legal Cultures in Transnational World (LeCTra) will also present their papers.

Thursday 11 December 2014, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
