A Contemporary anthology of law

This book offers a selection of essays which shed light on various issues in the field of Law. The essays are revised versions based on presentations at the 2021 International Conferences on Law organised by the Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) held in Athens, Greece. The essays in this volume have been selected after a process of blind-review on the basis of the reviewers’ comments and the essays contribution to the ongoing discussion of the respective issues. Despite the pandemic, the meetings were successful, though most of the papers were online presentations. Lawyers and other scholars who are interested in law and legal matters from across the world have proved their willingness to get together and discuss and talk about current legal issues. Traditional boundaries have become permeable. We live in a transparent, influenceable and pervious world. The response of the law and the legal systems to current developments including the issues and questions caused and raised by the Covid-19 pandemic is one of the great and serious challenges of our time. The authors of the essays collected for this anthology seek to analyse some of these challenges.
