Lawyers and legal professionals from various countries also participated, discussing current legal issues, global challenges, and the future development of legal systems.

As part of the conference, an official opening ceremony, plenary sessions, and various panels were organized. Key topics included “Young Lawyers and Global Challenges,” “Is Democracy at Risk?”, and “Regulation of Digital Platforms in Europe: Opportunities and Risks.” Additionally, discussions touched upon the role of lawyers in society, ethical issues within organizations, and innovations in the legal field.

During the conference, Yunis Nasibov and Sona Salimli-Alasgarova delivered speeches, providing information about the EYBA Autumn Conference to be hosted by Azerbaijan this October. They emphasized that the event would be organized at a high level, serve as an important platform for the international legal community, and offer participants a rich program both professionally and culturally.

Within the framework of the conference, discussions were also held on strengthening professional networks among lawyers, particularly expanding connections among young lawyers, alongside various social activities.
