Law, politics and economy in the modern world: challenges of the XXI century

Abstract

The Euro-Asian Law Congress was inaugurated in 2007 at the initiative of the Association of Lawyers of Russia. It was established as aspecific forum for representatives of the state, business, social groups and the professional legal community to discuss vital legal issues and in this way to promote efficient Euro-Asian cooperation. The idea of the Congress was born when Russian lawyers were searching for opportunities for further professional development and they wanted their research results to be effectively implemented in practice. The Congress now serves as an umbrella organization working on a regular basis. Unlike traditional conferences and seminars, it has created permanent bodies – committees, commissions, working groups – standing for the entire period between the sessions of the Congress and presenting their results at a subsequent session of the Congress.
