The Law Unit and the History Unit of
ATINER will hold a Stream on “Legal History (The Legal Foundation of
the Modern State)”, 16-19 July 2018, Athens, Greece as part of
the 15th Annual International Conference on Law sponsored
by the Athens
Journal of Law and the Athens Journal of History.
The purpose of the
interdisciplinary miniature stream is to introduce such legal institutions that
have an effect on the development of the internal judiciary systems of
different countries and are much in evidence in the contemporary legal reforms
related to the foundation of the modern state. The combined examination of
history and law can draw the attention of the legislators and legal historians
of the 21st Century to the importance of such legal
institutions which, if observed from the point of view of legal history, can
assist modern codification. The historical legal institutions appearing in the
law currently in effect, with the aid of a certain legal “restoration”, can
help their understanding, however it does not simply require some sort of
theoretical, dogmatic examination but also the analysis of the legal practice
and the praxis. Due to the topic of the interdisciplinary stream, this may not
only be interesting for people working in the field of law or legal history,
but can also get the attention of historians and scientists and researchers
working on other, various fields. Through the complex and comparative
assessment of the different branches of law, we can come up with a general
picture on the development and the role in contemporary legal development of
each and every legal institution.
Fee structure information is
available on www.atiner.gr/2018fees.
Special arrangements will be
made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference

synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycanae and
