Socio-Legal Studies Association Annual Conference 2012

The Socio-Legal Studies Association (SLSA) Annual Conference 2012 was held from April 3 to April 5 at De Montfort University in Leicester, United Kingdom. Organized by the SLSA, a UK-registered charity dedicated to advancing education and learning in socio-legal studies, the conference provided a platform for scholars to present and discuss research at the intersection of law and society.

The conference featured a diverse range of streams and themes, including empirical legal studies, legal theory, and interdisciplinary approaches to law. Notable sessions addressed topics such as domestic violence and international human rights law, with presentations like 'Domestic Violence and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights: Jessica Lenahan (Gonzales) v United States' and 'The ECJ and Domestic Violence: Magatte Gueye and Valentin Salmeron Sanchez'.

Attendees had opportunities for networking through various sessions and social events. The conference also included the SLSA's Annual General Meeting, allowing members to engage with the association's activities and governance.

The event was designed for academics, researchers, and practitioners in the field of socio-legal studies, offering a forum to share research findings, discuss contemporary issues, and foster collaborations within the socio-legal community.
