CCBE CONFERENCE: Innovation and Future of the Legal Profession - 21 October 2016, in Paris

The Council of Bars and Law Societies (CCBE) is organising a conference on

“Innovation and Future of the Legal Profession”

21 October 2016, in Paris.

Recently, there have been important questions raised regarding the future of the legal profession. How are European lawyers responding to these questions? Who are the key players innovating and positioning the legal profession in an ever-changing environment?

Can the profession's core values be upheld whilst adapting to these challenges? Will lawyers even survive in the face of these challenges? How will the legal profession reinvent itself and its organisations to be an essential part of this future?

To answer these questions and more, the conference will cover four main topics: The Future of Justice, the Future of Legal Services, the Future of Law Firms, and the Future of Bars and Law Societies.

This conference will bring together experts from Europe and beyond such as Mr. Jean-Jacques Urvoas, the Minister of Justice for France, and Ms. Tiina Astola, Director-General for Justice and Consumers at the European Commission.

We look forward to welcoming you on 21 October, to debate, discuss and determine the future of the legal profession.

This conference is certified as Continuous Professional Development and is equivalent to 7 points in Belgium (Avocats.be/OBFG), Luxembourg and Ireland; 7 hours in Poland; 6 credits in Italy.

There are discounted tickets now available in packs of 10 or 20.
