About the event

The Oxford Global Law Symposium is a forum for the presentation of papers and scholarly discourse by legal professionals, academics, and practitioners who share a commitment to the advancement of law across all its disciplines. The sympsosium will be hosted at the Oxford Union — the world's most prestigious debating chamber, where prime ministers, heads of state, and the greatest legal minds of every generation have argued the defining questions of their time. For those who practise and study law, there is no more fitting or inspiring setting in which to engage with the ideas that shape our legal world. View suggested topics.


In a global environment where the rule of law faces unprecedented challenges — from the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and digital governance, to the fracturing of international norms, the evolution of human rights, and the increasing complexity of corporate and environmental accountability — the symposium regularly explores the place of law in contemporary society: the nature of justice, the limits of legislation, the tension between national sovereignty and international obligation, the balance between individual rights and the collective good, and the role of the legal profession in shaping a just and equitable world.


You are invited to make a presentation and lead a discussion on any aspect of law, or you may wish to participate as a non-presenting delegate. Your presentation must adhere to an abstract of approximately 250 words approved by the Programme Committee of the Symposium.
