CUHK LAW will host an international conference on "Rethinking Jurisdiction in Private International Law" from 1 to 2 August 2024 at LT4, 2/F, Yasumoto International Academic Park, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Jurisdiction is a broad concept in private international law that includes legislative, judicial, and enforcement aspects. Over the past few years, there have been significant developments in the area of jurisdiction across various countries. These developments, while rooted in national law, have extensive cross-border impacts. Additionally, the HCCH Jurisdiction Project has engaged many countries in focusing on jurisdictional issues and seeking to harmonise jurisdictional conflicts.
Supported by Hitotsubashi University, this conference offers a forum for academics and practitioners to rethink and exchange ideas on the evolving new features of 'jurisdiction' in the context of private international law. The first day will be conducted in English, while the second day will mainly be in Mandarin Chinese. Attendees are welcome to participate in sessions on both days.
Details and registration will be available on CUHK LAW website here.
