LACC Joins FIU College of Law to Launch the First Latin American and Caribbean Law Review Symposium

In recognition and celebration of the launch of FIU’s Latin American and Caribbean Law Review, LACC is proud to cosponsor the symposium Trends on Law and Justice in Latin America & The Caribbean

Joint LACC at the FIU College of Law for the Inaugural Latin American and Caribbean Law Review Symposium
LACC partners with the FIU College of Law to celebrate the Inaugural Latin American and Caribbean Law Review Symposium, fostering dialogue on justice and the rule of law across the region.

 

This inaugural symposium of the Latin American and Caribbean Law Review (“LCLR”) brings together leading scholars to examine critical challenges facing legal systems across the Americas. From environmental devastation caused by illegal mining to the global networks of transnational crime, from the tensions between fiscal sustainability and constitutional rights to the crises of judicial independence, our region confronts profound threats to the rule of law and democratic governance. As technology reshapes the legal landscape through algorithmic regulation, these presentations explore how constitutional frameworks, judicial institutions, and fundamental rights protection must evolve to meet contemporary challenges. This symposium launches a vital conversation about strengthening justice and the rule of law throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Co-sponsored by LACC
