Every year, the UIA organises a key international congress, as well as numerous seminars in a variety of major cities throughout the world. From Buenos Aires to Bucharest, from New Delhi to Nice, UIA events provide the opportunity for participants to meet, establish professional and social contacts, and address current issues facing the legal profession.

The annual congress is the UIA's flagship event, addressed by prominent speakers and drawing the participation of over 1,000 lawyers from more than 70 countries around the world.

 

UIA congresses are open to all UIA members, as well as non-members, with preferential rates for early registrations, young lawyers, participants from emerging countries and all UIA members.

The UIA's thematic seminars are organised with the collaboration of local and national bars. The seminars take place throughout the year and allow participants to exchange ideas on current issues affecting their legal sector.

 

All seminars are open to both UIA members and non-members. Local participants also play an important role in UIA seminars.

 

Participants to the seminars will be able to obtain credits for purposes of continued legal education.

 

The UIA has obtained official accreditation from the Conseil National des Barreaux (CNB France) and is pursuing the same approach with organisations in other countries.
