The most demanding objective of academic institutions is society-related research and studies. The purpose of such research is to find out appropriate solutions, cope with the most up-to-date research, develop national legislations, or shed light on deficiencies in current national and international laws.
To achieve such objective, it is necessary to organize international specialist symposiums and conferences. Hence, Kuwait International Law School held the first legal conference titled “Current Legal Issues”, between 15th and 16th December, 2013. A group of international and Arab legal experts and researchers participated in this conference, as they covered the four main domains of the conference, which are as follows:
First: Constitutional Reforms in the Arab World.
Second: Transitional Justice and Challenges in the Arab World.
Third: Legal Changes in the Arab World from International Law Perspective.
Fourth: Financial and Economic Changes and Dimensions in the Arab World.
For the interest of legal researchers, and spreading legal awareness in the Arab World, the fourth edition of KILAW Journal will be specially dedicated to the fourteen research and studies (Papers) being presented in the conference.
In this concern, KILAW Journal team kindly urges the academic staff to present their remarks regarding this special edition of the journal in order to develop the journal in both content and form for the purpose of helping legal studies in both Kuwait and the Arab World.
