Jeffrey Golden KC co-chairs American Bar Association ILS London Fall Conference 2024

Jeffrey Golden KC is co-chairing the American Bar Association (ABA) International Law Section (ILS) London Fall Conference on 14 November.

The conference: Back to the Future: The Special Roles Played by the American Law Institute and the Law Commission in the Development of the Common Law (CLE), will explore the exemplary, but different, roles played since the ABA’s 1924 visit to London by the American Law Institute and the UK Law Commission in making the law in the two leading Common Law jurisdictions simpler, more accessible, fairer and modern.

On the centenary of the first ABA meeting in the UK, this conference will celebrate 100 years of ABA visits to the UK, and compare the interaction between innovation and tradition in law and law practice in the UK and the US, in areas such as class actions and litigation funding, merger control, and regulatory regimes, as well as rules of professional responsibility and the scope of attorney-client privilege.

Date: 13-15 November 2024

Venue: The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple
