The Socio-Legal Studies Association (SLSA) Annual Conference is a premier event that brings together scholars and practitioners from various disciplines to explore the intersection of law and society. Organized by the SLSA, this conference serves as a platform for presenting cutting-edge research and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue in the field of socio-legal studies.

The 2013 conference, held from March 26 to 28 at York Law School in York, United Kingdom, featured a diverse array of topics. Key sessions included discussions on human rights, international law, gender issues, and narratives in the context of the War on Terror. Notable presentations addressed subjects such as the operation of culturally embedded narratives in counter-terrorism efforts and the potential impact of the Council of Europe Convention on Violence against Women concerning domestic violence.

Attendees had the opportunity to engage in various networking activities, including panel discussions, workshops, and informal gatherings designed to facilitate collaboration and the exchange of ideas among socio-legal scholars. The conference also highlighted emerging research and provided a forum for critical debate on contemporary legal and social issues.

This conference was particularly beneficial for academics, researchers, and practitioners interested in the dynamic relationship between law and society. It offered a unique opportunity to stay abreast of recent developments, share research findings, and connect with peers in the socio-legal community.
