Family Law: Realities, Expectations and Hope

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: The Honourable John Pascoe AC CVO | Chief Justice of the Family Court (AUSTRALIA)

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:

LAWASIA is pleased to invite the participation of members and legal professionals at the 7th LAWASIA Family Law & Children’s Rights Conference, to be held in Vientiane, Laos from 6 - 8 June 2018.  The conference program offers high-level content relevant not only to family law practitioners, but also to children’s advocates, policy advisors, academics, judicial officers and a range of non-government organisations.

Hosted on the banks of the Mekong River, the conference will examine a range of cross-border issues in family law and children’s rights, including:

  • surrogacy and its ethical challenges;
  • the impact of social media and new technologies on family law practice;
  • trafficking of the vulnerable;
  • effective negotiations and understanding between the client, lawyer and the child;
  • current challenges arising under The Hague Convention;
  • the protection of vulnerable members of the family; and
  • trends influencing the future shape of family law.

This will be the seventh in a series of LAWASIA conferences on family law and children’s rights (FLCR).  Building on the success of previous FLCR events, the conference will provide a unique opportunity for lawyers and associated professional members in the region to exchange insights, explore current policy and practice issues, and exposure to a professional network of colleagues with shared interests and expertise.
