A collaborative conference co-hosted by the faculties of law at the University of Windsor and Indonesia’s Universitas Gadjah Mada marked a significant step in fostering international legal dialogue, says professor Shanthi Senthe.

One of the organizers of the inaugural “Private and Public Law in Motion: A Comparative Exploration of Legal Regimes,” she says the one-day event, Feb. 7 in Yogyakarta, brought together legal scholars, researchers, judges, and legal practitioners from Indonesia, Canada, and the U.S.A.

“The conference provided an invaluable opportunity for participants to explore how different legal systems address common challenges,” says Dr. Senthe. “It marked a significant step in fostering international legal dialogue.”

Attendees discussed various issues, ranging from the intricacies of legal theory to practical applications in a globalized world, particularly in the context of cross-border co-operation and the role of emerging trends.

“By fostering collaboration between legal experts across these countries, the conference aimed to highlight shared experiences while also considering unique traditions and practices within each jurisdiction,” Senthe says.
