Postmodern law : A meta-model

Microsoft Teams : details to come.

This workshop will be presented by Thomas Windisch, masters law student at the University of Sherbrooke.

Summary: This presentation will question the conception of law underlying contemporary legal activity. The challenges that await the law of tomorrow accentuate the diversity of theoretical postures: artificial intelligence, globalization, lex electronica, climate crisis, and the notion of #justice, among others, put Western legal systems to the test. In this conjuncture, would the "law" be undergoing a metamorphosis? Rather, I would argue that, broken up, complexified, decadent, and fragmented, postmodern law is a confused moment of an adapting legal thought. Initially developed to analyze civil disobedience, the proposed meta-model would provide the legal community with an all-encompassing foundation for framing scientific research in line with what the “law” is, or rather no longer, today.
