For more than a decade, Law, Justice and Development (LJD) Week has served as a setting for engaging a global community of law and development professionals on the legal challenges, questions, and solutions for development. A pivotal platform for exchanging knowledge and strengthening partnerships among law and development stakeholders, the event strives to activate stakeholders from across international organizations, the public and private sectors, academia, and civil society to leverage the legal profession for greater impact in development.
In a world grappling with persistent crises, rapid technological advancements, and an urgent need for coordinated action, how can the legal profession harness its network, expertise, and innovation to accelerate better development outcomes?
This year’s theme, Innovative Legal Solutions to Development Challenges, invites participants to delve into innovations within the legal sector and evaluate the potential risks associated with these advancements to effectively respond to global development challenges. LJD Week will showcase pioneering ideas that chart concrete pathways to advance the rule of law and enhance the efficiency of legal work for effective development outcomes. It will also identify strategies to deepen collaboration with professionals from the law and development fields.
By engaging in these discussions, participants will strengthen outcome-oriented knowledge exchange and partnerships among the global network of legal professionals operating at the nexus of law, technology, and development, who are dedicated to addressing the legislative, regulatory, and judicial challenges needed to pave the way for meaningful and lasting development impact.
