Welcome Message
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 13th LEGARG Conference, dedicated this year to the study of Legal Theory under the theme: “Law, Artificial Intelligence and Ethics ”
This conference brings together scholars, professors, and researchers from different countries to share insights, thoughtd and innovative perspectives on the social, political, and legal issues that are shaping the future of law in an era of rapid changes.
As artificial intelligence increasingly intersects with legal systems, ethical frameworks, and societal norms, the exchange of ideas at this conference is both timely and essential. We hope that the presentations, discussions, and collaborations that emerge here will inspire new approaches, stimulate critical reflection, and contribute meaningfully to the evolving discourse in legal theory.
This years' LEGARG conference holds great importantce as it is to be held as a part of a »Center for Constitutionalism and AI« project, supported by ARIS, Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency.
We thank all participants for their contributions and engagement and look forward to two days of rich dialogue, intellectual exchange, and shared learning.
