The Research Group for Legal Culture, Legal History and Comparative Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Bergen, are pleased to announce that a Conference on Nordic Legal Culture will be held from 1 to 2 June 2023 at the University of Bergen, Norway.

This conference is the starting point of biannual series of conferences hosted by different institutions and research groups in cooperation with, and supported by, the Norwegian Society of Comparative Law.
