The Fifth Worldwide Congress of the World Society of Mixed Jurisdiction Jurists
Hosted by the University of Malta - Faculty of Laws
“Mixity in Private Law and/ or Public Law”
The World Society of Mixed Jurisdiction Jurists is pleased to announce its Fifth Worldwide Congress which will be hosted by the Faculty of Laws through its Departments of Civil Law and European Law.
This conference will be held at the University of Malta. From an opening evening reception and lecture on the 14th June through to the 16th June 2023. The theme of the Congress will be “Mixity in the Private and/or Public law”.
Mixed Jurisdictions, as they are traditionally understood, stand at the crossroads of the common law and civil law. They frequently encompass other ethnic and religious laws. Rich in legal history and complex pluralism, they are often seen as natural laboratories of comparative law.
The laws, methods and institutions of mixed jurisdictions are inevitably affected by the influence and presence of different traditions vying for supremacy or requiring reconciliation. Their mixity is not restricted to the private law alone, but is often evident in the public law as well, such as in the criminal, administrative and constitutional laws.
The Fifth Worldwide Congress will investigate mixity wherever it may appear in these legal systems.
This conference is being held for the first time in Malta; which is a mixed jurisdiction with a long history of legal and cultural mixing and a legal profession which is experienced in navigating the resulting confluence of rules and regulations.
