University of Edinburgh Centre for International and Global Law (CIGL), and the International Law Reading Group (ILRG) is jointly organising the University of Edinburgh Global Law Conference, a two day conference on 30 April and 1 May 2026 aiming to gather research that can demonstrate the multifaceted nature of 'global law', its explanatory power of the contemporary legal order, and deepen the understanding of legal scholarship on the role 'global law' plays to respond to current and future challenges.

In addition to Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls and Head of Civil Justice in England and Wales, who will be speaking at the Conference as a special guest, the organisers are also pleased to welcome leading figures from the 'global law' research community as keynote speakers:
