2026 Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference

Global interdependence is reshaping the foundations of law. The convergence of environmental, technological, economic, and social systems demands new ways of understanding justice that extend beyond jurisdictions and established legal frameworks. This order now defines the conditions under which law functions and justice is realised.

The Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference (EPLC) 2026 invites participants to explore how law can respond to these evolving global realities. Under the theme “Beyond Legal Boundaries: Reimagining Justice in an Interdisciplinary World”, the conference will examine the legal, practical, ethical, and theoretical dimensions of governing an interconnected world. The theme encourages contributors to consider how jurisdiction, responsibility, or justice are transformed, particularly by global technological and environmental change. Intersectional perspectives are welcome, addressing how factors such as race, gender, class, geography or access to technology shape the experience and distribution of justice
