About the Conference

In the 21st century, legal systems across the globe are confronting unprecedented complexities stemming from rapid technological innovation, socio-political shifts, economic interdependence, and mounting global crises such as climate change and humanitarian conflicts. These developments have blurred the traditional boundaries of legal discourse, demanding a reimagined and integrated approach to understanding, researching, and practicing law.

The International Conference on “Global Convergence: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Law and Contemporary Challenges” seeks to provide an academic and professional platform to address these emerging realities. Organized jointly by the Kerala Law Academy (India), the Global Research Conference Forum (GRCF), and the University of Colombo (Sri Lanka), this two-day hybrid conference invites participation from legal scholars, academicians, researchers, practitioners, and students worldwide.
