The conference brings together more than 5,000 legal professionals from governments, regulatory bodies, law firms, corporations and academic institutions across more than 130 jurisdictions. Conference discussions will cover a wide range of topics including access to justice, artificial intelligence and legal innovation, public-sector legal practice, criminal law and the rule of law.

“A strong justice system is one that evolves to meet the needs of the people it serves. Through engagement with legal and justice leaders from around the world, Alberta can share its expertise, learn from other jurisdictions and identify new opportunities to enhance access to justice and support ongoing modernization.”

Mickey Amery, Minister of Justice

The minister is also expected to meet with representatives of Denmark’s justice sector to exchange information on shared priorities and explore innovative policy and program approaches.

The Alberta government is committed to working with its national and international partners to advance shared interests that can lead to new opportunities for people and businesses in Alberta and around the world.

Mission expenses will be posted on the travel and expense disclosure page.
