Law Schools Global League (LSGL)
LSGL is an association of 31 top-notch law schools from all five continents. LSGL engages in collaboration on research, legal education, legal innovation, and more generally, on promoting an agenda for the future of law in a globalized context. LSGL has various research working groups, and it holds academic conferences and an annual summer school. LSGL is a dynamic, egalitarian, and friendly association, always open to new initiatives and forms of collaboration, including both within the legal profession and across other academic and professional disciplines.
Because LSGL member law schools come from all corners of the world, encompassing all major legal systems and languages, LSGL can offer a significant contribution to the study of the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention, and to discussing the future trajectory of the Convention and policymaking in regard to the adequate protection of cultural objects against theft, illegal exports, and other forms of misuse.
Potential forms of collaboration & Contribution
- LSGL would financially support a fellowship for a PhD candidate or a postdoc researcher, coming from one of the LSGL member schools, who is interested in doing research on the 1995 Convention. For this purpose, LSGL and UCAP would issue each year a call for applications, and select together the best application.
- LSGL and UCAP will collaborate in holding academic conferences, roundtable discussions, and other academic or public-policy oriented events on the 1995 Convention (focus on the international/global level or deal, alternatively, with regional or national aspects on the 1995 Convention).
- LSGL and UCAP will seek to promote academic courses and curriculums dealing with the 1995 Convention, as part of a broader study of the law and policy on the protection of cultural heritage and cultural objects (one potential model could be a joint class for several LSGL member schoolds).
