Dean's Message ![]() Dear Distinguished Scholars, The 21st Annual Conference of the Asian Law Institute (ASLI) will be a milestone in the history of our organization, and we welcome you to join us. The event will take place in Bangkok at Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Law, May 29-30, 2024. ASLI was founded in 2003 with the key objective of encouraging cooperation among law faculties in the development of Asian law. Chulalongkorn hosted the first ASLI conference outside Singapore, and each founding member took a turn in the following years. With the upcoming conference, a new circle begins. We are excited to serve as the site for scholars to envision “the Future of Law, the Future of Asia.” With participants coming from across and beyond Asia, the conference will offer a confluence of global and local perspectives. The advancement of artificial intelligence and technology creates challenges for the law, even as it provides opportunities for enhanced quality of life. Innovation never stands still, but the law stands for a balance of stability and change. Legal systems have to find ways of upholding societal values without stifling progress in science and the arts. The ASLI conference will be an opportune time to take stock of what we have learned from the past and how it informs our understanding of the present. With that as a base, we can peer into the future and consider various approaches to shaping law in a technology-driven world. Hence, the theme of the upcoming conference: the Future of Law, the Future of Asia. Bangkok is itself a microcosm of Asia. You’ll find food, fashion, and cultural influences of our neighbors almost everywhere you turn. Of course, all this exists within the context of Thai society. There’s a reason Bangkok often ranks as the world’s most visited city. Actually—countless reasons. Please come discover as many as you can! All of us at the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University, look forward to greeting you in Thailand in 2024.
